Most people in Australia have been affected by anxiety and depression in some way, whether through personal experience or through family, friends or work colleagues. In any one year, around 1 million adults in Australia experience depression and over 2 million experience anxiety.
Our work is aimed at achieving an Australian community that understands anxiety and depression, empowering all Australians, at any life-stage, to seek help. beyondblue raises awareness, reduces stigma and ensures people have access to the information they need to support recovery, management and resilience.
The beyondblue Support Service gives every person in Australia the opportunity to talk through his or her concerns with a trained mental health professional. Last year over 100,000 Australians contacted us about their concerns – both big and small.
This year, we’re aiming to raise $200,000 in The Age Run Melbourne. With your support, we can reach our goal to fund 4,000 enquiries to the Support Service from people affected by anxiety and depression.
Thank you so much for your support – without you, we couldn’t do the work that we do.
All the best for your training!
