Beyond Blue and the Australian Paralympic Committee have launched a partnership that will focus on the mental health of past, current and future athletes.

Read an opinion piece written by Beyond Blue Chair The Hon Julia Gillard, AC, explaining why the Beyond Blue National Education Initiative will be vital in creating the most mentally healthy generation of young Australians ever.

The warning signs of suicide are sometimes subtle but learning how to identify them and raise your concerns could help change another person’s life – and you don’t have to be an expert to make a difference. Ground-breaking new research from beyondblue has found that while few people express their suicidal thoughts directly to others, they often show signs through changes in their behaviour.

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.

beyondblue welcomes the 2017 Budget’s mental health and suicide prevention measures.

A reminder to Australians this Anzac Day that greater support is needed for returned service personnel whose battles continue long after they come home, due to the psychological impact of war.

World-first research by beyondblue will invite up to 20,000 current and former personnel from 34 police and emergency organisations across Australia to participate in a survey about their mental health and risk of suicide.

beyondblue calls on all Australians – across government, workplaces, schools, urban, rural and remote communities – to make a new commitment to improving health standards of our Indigenous friends, families and colleagues this National Close the Gap Day.

The number of Australian men taking their lives is increasing, according to new Australian Bureau of Statistics data, and beyondblue hopes its new BeyondNow app will help reduce the suicide toll.
