Over Bl**dy Eighty! new free OBE booklet
beyondblue has a new booklet with stories from 20 inspiring OBEs – people Over Bl**dy Eighty!
‘Our Stories’ celebrates the lives and experiences of older Australians, who challenge the myth that “depression is a normal part of ageing”. It includes information on how to help someone with depression and a list of organisations focused on activities and programs for older Australians.
beyondblue chief executive officer, Leonie Young, said “Our Stories highlights the importance of looking after both the mental and physical health of older people. We hope these stories inspire others to live active and healthy lives well into their eighties and beyond.
“Depression is common but it is not a normal part of ageing. It is an illness and help is available regardless of the person's age.”
