Because anxiety and depression affects all of us, Beyond Blue is equipping everyone in Australia with the knowledge and skills to protect their own mental health. We are giving people the confidence to support those around them, and make anxiety, depression and suicide part of everyday conversations. Beyond Blue wants to tackle the stigma, prejudice and discrimination that comes with anxiety and depression and is working hard to break down the barriers that prevent people from speaking up and reaching out to those closest to them. Beyond Blue is here for everyone in Australia – at work, home, school, university, online, and in communities across the country. As a sporting community, we want everyone involved at Dusties to be aware of the Beyond Blue organization and support their fight against anxiety, depression and suicide.
