ABC – Mental As
http://www.abc.net.au/mentalas/
To support Mental Health Week 5th – 12th October and to try and reduce the stigma of mental illness the ABC has its own project called Mental As with the underlying logo of talk, give and seek. They are encouraging donations to Mental Health Research, providing mental health contacts such as Lifeline, Black Dog Institute, Headspace, Sane Australia and the Kids help line just to name a few and have a charity auction occurring.
There are also a number of programs running during this week with a mental health focus on all ABC TV stations, radio and online– one of these programs will run over three nights on ABC 1 on the 7th. 8th and 9th October based on Liverpool Hospital NSW Mental Health Unit.
