Ybblue's all about getting the message out there that it's okay to talk about depression, and to encourage young people and their family and friends to get help when it's needed.One in five young Australians experience depression each year, and more than half of those aren't getting the professional help they need to get through it.Research shows that when young people are feeling depressed they're most likely to talk about it with their family and friends. Ybblue aims to give advice on ways to recognise depression and how to talk about it, and to let young people know what services are out there to help.
