beyondblue is dedicated to reducing the impact of depression and anxiety on individuals, families and carers, and society as a whole. Unfortunately, depression and anxiety are the most prevalent mental health disorders in Australia, with one in three people experiencing depression and/or anxiety at some point in their life. A key contributing factor to the significant disability associated with depression and anxiety is the low levels of help seeking, with only 35% of people with these disorders accessing professional services for their mental health problems.
With your support we are, through our programs, research and campaigns:
Increasing awareness of depression and anxiety
Reducing stigma and discrimination
Improving help seeking
Reducing impact and disability
Facilitating learning, collaboration, innovation and research.
