Today, incoming beyondblue Chair The Hon. Julia Gillard talks about Australia's great war-time prime minister, John Curtin, and the mental health struggles he faced.

beyondblue is set to lead a transformation in the development of good mental health and wellbeing practices for all Australian children from early learning centres to the end of secondary school.

If you’re feeling anxious about travelling this summer, then it’s time to give yourself a break and take a holiday reality check.

The lead up to Christmas can be a stressful and anxious time, particularly for those dealing with loneliness, family relationship problems or financial hardship. Since November, there has been a spike in the number of people visiting the beyondblue online forums to seek support or information, join conversations, or learn holiday coping strategies.

beyondblue has launched a guide to help parents and other family members reach out to young people at risk of suicide and to reduce Australia’s tragic youth suicide rate.

beyondblue launched the Get to Know Anxiety campaign with events in Sydney and Melbourne.

An idea of two year 10 students in the Casey region on the outskirts of Melbourne became the inspiration for the Victorian closing event for National Youth Week 2013. Stride 4 Life was held on Saturday April 20 with 200 people walking 3.5kms around Akoonah Park in Berwick to raise awareness about youth mental health and promote an active lifestyle.

beyondblue has launched a ground-breaking approach to support children traumatised by the bushfires that devastated parts of Tasmania earlier this year. The Child and Adolescent Bushfire Disaster Response is an adaptation of a successful program that assisted children after the 2011 Queensland floods.
