From arranging comments and interviews to providing mental health statistics and more – if you’re in the media, Beyond Blue are here to assist you.
If you’re a journalist, editor or producer, the Beyond Blue media team are available to:
Connect you with people who can share their personal experience of a mental health condition

Provide evidence-based mental health information and statistics.
