Breaking Down Depression & Building Resilience with The Black Dog Institute
Through our grant to the Black Dog Institute from our 2022 campaign, BDI were able to go into six regional NSW communities to educate local community members on the signs of depression and anxiety, and how to seek support.
Our help made it possible for BDI to connect their educational presentations to 440 community members in collaboration with Active Farmers, Australian Men’s Shed Association and Creative Community Concepts.
With the grant provided to Black Dog Institute from the Sydney Markets Foundation in November 2022, we have been able to present to 6 regional communities across New South Wales. Each of these communities was presented our Breaking Down Depression & Building Resilience presentation by one of our trained lived experience presenters.
Key Stats:
• 6 regional NSW communities visited.
• 3 Black Dog Institute lived experience presenters sharing their personal experiences of mental Illness and educating on the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety and how to seek support for themselves or others.
• 440 people attended across the 7 sessions.
