Black Dog Ride Australia (raising awareness of depression)
One Man's journey to impact sufferers of depression and to remove the stigma against this debilitating illness.
Read more about Steve Andrews and Black Dog Ridge Australia here.
"Remember, depression is an illness, not a weakness and effective treatments are available. It's important to seek help early and with the right treatment most people recover. If you are concerned that you or someone you know may be suffering from depression talk to a doctor or another health professional today. If we talk about depression and work together we can make a difference." - Steve Andrews

A new initiative from BeyondBlue is www.JustSpeakUp.com.au. "The website shares peoples’ personal experiences of pre- and postnatal depression and anxiety, and encourages others to speak up, reinforcing the message “It’s OK to ask for help”."

BeyondBlue also has new resources available. Click here to find out what.
