October is National Mental Health Month and today a television commercial was launched in Coffs Harbour to highlight the issue.
The support group Headspace received government funding for the ad called Beating the Blues in the Bush.
“The message is it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, what your background is, how much money you make, you can be affected by depression, it’s a serious illness and you need to get help for it,” ssaid Headspace youth worker Gary Maher.
Locals volunteered to appear in the commercial which was filmed around Coffs Harbour.
