beyondblue is pleased to be a content partner in Healthshare's depression, anxiety and postnatal depression communities. We hope that by being part of this initiative, we will be able to get our messages out to thousands of people who get their information online... and subsequently, will get help if they are concerned about their own mental health or that of a family member or friend.

Young people 18-25 are twice as likely to have difficulty talking about or seeking help for their mental health problems. However they are the largest users of social media. The mental health communities in Healthshare can be a gatekeeper, a carer, an avenue to help them to connect with others and gain the support they need in a much less confronting way.

The bowel cancer community hosted on the Healthshare platform enables people to join a discussion about their personal experiences with bowel cancer. We feel it's important to do this so people can have a chat but also get factual, balanced information from a credible source.

When I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer I was in shock. It was not what I expected to be dealing with at 36 years old. Finding others with my disease who were my age to talk to not only changed my life it gave it back to me. Having access to professional advice has made a real difference to my quality of life and that is why I am supporting Healthshare.
