Who beyondblue are and what they do

About beyondblue Ltd

Many of us have been affected by anxiety and depression, either personally or through family, friends or colleagues. Right now, over 1 million people in Australia experience depression and 2 million are experiencing anxiety. On average, 8 people take their lives every day in Australia.

beyondblue’s vision is for all people in Australia to achieve their best possible mental health.

The funds and awareness you raise will help us enormously as we work to support people to protect their mental health and to recover when they are unwell, reduce people’s experiences of stigma and discrimination, and improve people’s opportunities to get effective support and services at the right time.

With your support, we will continue to innovate and deliver new services and programs, distribute free information resources and share powerful stories of hope and recovery across Australia, fund world-leading research, roll out evidence-based campaigns and advocate for all people in Australia affected by anxiety, depression and suicide.

Your support will also help us keep up with demand for our 24/7 phone and online Support Service – which is staffed by mental health professionals and provides life-saving support to hundreds of people every day.

For information about anxiety, depression and suicide prevention please visit www.beyondblue.org.au For advice and support, contact the beyondblue Support Service on 1300 22 4636 or online at www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport

ABOUT ME

I'm a 44 year old vintage lovin' gal who has Bipolar II.


****************************
During my younger years in the 1990s there wasn't much 

information about mental illness & numerous times I was 

told by Doctors that I had "women problems" or I was just 

"stressed".


Instead, I on got on the internet & searched "Mental Illness 

HELP" . 

The website for beyondblue came up so I rang them.


They instantly put me in touch with a great GP 

who finally diagnosed me and put me on the path to living 

my life in full colour instead of the grey I had been 

blanketed with for most of my life.



If it weren't for the amazing work ofbeyondblue I don't 

think I would be here today.

I am extremely passionate about raising awareness of 

mental illness and depression in today's society & reducing 

the stigma attached.


*******************************

This is my FIFTH fundraiser I have done for beyondblue.

My previous fundraisers raised about $22,000.

**********************************************

I love putting on events that not only raise awareness of 

this great cause but also are super duper fun and provide a 

night of love, hilarity and warm fuzzies for everyone who 

attends.

Thank you
