IHHP
& beyondblue

beyondblue is an independent, not-for-profit organisation working
to increase awareness and understanding of depression, anxiety
and related disorders throughout Australia and reduce the associated
stigma.
beyondblue works to promote early intervention and prevention
of depression and anxiety disorders through our programs and
research activities. We also provide information about the real-life
experiences of people who live with depression and anxiety disorders,
and their carers, and promote their needs with policy makers
and health care providers.
beyondblue is supported by the Australian Government and every
State and Territory Government in Australia. beyondblue also
receives considerable unsolicited donations from businesses and
individuals, in particular The Movember Foundation. beyondblue is not supported by pharmaceutical company funding.
beyondblue: the
national depression initiative and IHHP share a desire to improve the mental health of all Australians,
aiming to raise community awareness of depression, anxiety and
related disorders, reduce the associated stigma and to promote
early intervention and prevention.
The IHHP group, with the support of beyondblue, tours Australia
working predominantly with Indigenous communities promoting healthy
lifestyles, while raising awareness of social and emotional wellbeing
and supporting young people in regional, rural and remote Australia.
The partnership between beyondblue and IHHP aims to minimise
risk factors and maximise protective factors of depression and
anxiety by connecting young people with their communities, decreasing
shame and increasing self-esteem and confidence. In the partnership
with beyondblue, IHHP promote the Youthbeyondblue key depression-awareness
messages of Look, Listen, Talk and Seek Help together!
