Mental Health Down Under: Issue #2
Welcome to the second edition of “Mental Health Down Under”, the blog carnival hoping to raise awareness of mental health in Australia. I’d also like to extend a quick apology for the dely in releasing this issue, it’s been a rough month thus far but I’m getting there…slowly :-)
“Depression and Mental Health are growing problems worldwide. Share your articles, information, support and personal stories about mental health in the land down under. Help fight the stigma against mental health in Australia.”

I am particularly interested in seeing some articles written by people who have experienced self harm and sharing their stories and coping strategies to help other sufferers and breaking the stigma and judgements associated with self harm.
