INSTANTLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT OUR BEYOND BLUE BASH

This coming weekend’s Big V State Championship Women’s and Men’s Double Header will be part of a bigger cause than just Basketball. 

It is a #BeyondBlueBash event that we are running in conjunction with Beyond Blue to raise money for a worthy cause.

Beyond Blue are an organization that provides support, advice and action for those suffering the effects of Depression or Anxiety.

Many of us have been affected by depression and anxiety, either personally or through family, friends or colleagues. Right now, over 1 million Australian adults have depression and 2 million are experiencing anxiety. On average, 7 people takes their lives every day in Australia. Annually, suicide accounts for twice as many deaths as road accidents.

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

Their vision is for all people in Australia to achieve their best possible mental health, which means tackling the stigma, prejudice and discrimination to break down the barriers that prevent people from speaking up and reaching out.

To find out more about their work, visit beyondblue.org.au and stay tuned to DV social media streams (@DVBasketball on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, as well as www.dvbasketball.com.au for more information on the event.
