Last week Barwon House held a series of fundraisers for Beyond Blue. Teacher Lachlan Envall demonstrated his auction skills in front of a large group of students while on Friday students enjoyed a barbie and band. $1,300 was raised by Barwon House for Beyond Blue.... a fantastic effort!

About Beyond Blue:

Since 2000, Beyond Blue has been working to reduce the impact of anxiety, depression and suicide within Australia, by supporting people to protect their mental health and to recover when they are unwell, reduce people’s experience of stigma and discrimination, and to improve people’s opportunities to get effective support and services at the right time.

Funds raised help Beyond Blue to continue to:

• Provide an expert listening ear – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Develop and trial ground-breaking new initiatives to tackle anxiety, depression and suicide.
• Give people the information they need, whenever they need it, wherever they live.
• Distribute free information resources across Australia.
• Produce evidence-based awareness campaigns to reach people at risk of developing mental health conditions.
• Fund world-leading research.
