Welcome to our new-look e-newsletter designed to keep you updated on the latest beyondblue news and events.

I’d like to take the opportunity to introduce myself as the new CEO of beyondblue. As some of you may know, I was the CEO of Lifeline Australia for 10 years before joining beyondblue in January. I’m thrilled to be a part of the beyondblue team and I’m looking forward to continuing beyondblue’s vital work across Australia.

Thank you for subscribing to the beyondblue e-newsletter – your support is invaluable in helping to raise awareness of depression and anxiety, and remove the stigma.
