Charities working in mental health/depression
Hi, my work is beginning a pre-tax charity donation programme soon and I would like to donate. Mental health, particularly depression, is a topic very close to my heart. Does anyone know any good charities doing work in this area to which I could donate some money or perhaps even my time? I’m already aware of Beyond Blue and Black Dog btw. Thanks

I like me some Headspace, Orygen Youth ^(though I've heard mixed words about their programs) and idk who else.
Probably local council health services too.
I'll second Headspace, particularly with their work with young people. The dip in quality is probably related to the huge cut in funding they had several years ago, of which only a fraction (something like 25%) has been restored.
yeah! I'm a client of Headspace and use about 4 services at my local.
It's got a varied clientele, i feel like I'm the oldest sometimes when I go in there! haha. But it really does support young people and youth going through hard times.
