Hi Inkers,
Last week we highlighted Pink Ribbon Day coming up on the 25th October. This entire month is also important for another reason -
Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month.
Over a million people in Australia live with depression. Over two million have an anxiety disorder. With the right treatment, most people recover.
It's easy to help raise awareness. Sometimes the simplest acts have the greatest impact - just talking openly about anxiety and depression helps reduce the stigma.
beyondblue Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month provides an opportunity for workplaces, community groups and individuals to take part in activities to raise awareness of anxiety and depression, and help reduce the associated stigma.

This weeks challenge is Just Add Blue ...
Everyone loves to know that they've been thought of, so we thought we'd have an additional part to this week's challenge, too. It's completely optional, and we're not expecting you to tell us all about it in your entry post (but you
can if you want!).
A
Random
Act of
Kindness (RAK) is when you do something nice for someone for no particular reason, so it's not for their birthday, or Christmas etc. So our add-on challenge to you is to send/give the card you create for
Just Add Blue to someone you care about...
Just... Because!
It doesn't have to be someone who's suffering depression, or someone who's struggling. It could be someone who makes you laugh, or someone you've been out of touch with for a while. Maybe it's someone who'd just like your card! Whoever! The idea is to make your card, and then
send it!
