''beyondblue'' is an Australian, independent non-profit organisation working to address issues associated with depression, anxiety disorders and related mental disorders. ''beyondblue'' works in partnership with health services, schools, workplaces, universities, media and community organisations, as well as people living with anxiety and depression, their friends and family, to raise community awareness of anxiety and depression and reduce associated stigma. Jeff Kennett is the current chairman, and its CEO is Georgie Harman. ''beyondblue'' takes a public health approach to anxiety and depression, focusing on improving the health of the whole population, across the whole lifespan. ''beyondblue'' works with specific population groups in a range of settings - including educational settings, workplaces, health services and online - in order to be accessible to as many people as possible. ==History== ''beyondblue'' began in October 2000 as a five-year initiative of the Australian federal and state and territory governments after a period of public debate on the treatment of depression sufferers. The aim was to move the focus on depression away from a mental health service issue and towards one which is understood, acknowledged and addresses by the wider community. Politicians who have encouraged people to both donate to and utilise the services of ''beyondblue'' include Geoff Gallop and John Brogden. Since 2006, the Australian Football League has supported the organisation with the beyondblue Cup awarded annually to the winner of clashes between the Geelong and Hawthorn football clubs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beyondblue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
