80% of Australians have been depressed at some time and yet it remains poorly detected and treated, and shrouded by negative social stigma
Beyond Blue is promoting National ADA Month during October. If you aren't familiar with their site it is certainly worth a click: http://www.beyondblue.org.au/index.aspx?
It's an excellent resource which could help you or someone you know
They always have free resources available online but during this month you can order special promo packs to use in your workplace etc. I've just received several and we've bombed this joint with posters and leaflets and have all the staff wearing badges or wristbands
Log on and order a pack. Even if you chuck up a poster in your local cafe
This is serious business and we need to drag it out of the shadows so we can really start making use of the great resources we have and helping the people who need it

So fucking rude.
