Special event: Australians travelling beyond blue

By Darren Stones

As a member of blueVoices, the consumer reference group for beyondblue, and Founder of the Australian Travel Photography and Writing group, I'm coordinating the special event, Australians travelling beyond blue.

The event is in support of beyondblue’s Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month for October 2010. It is a participation event for individuals to take part in an activity to raise awareness of anxiety and depression, and help reduce stigma.
