	BluePages Appeal The Foundation has recently established the BluePages Appeal, to fund the ongoing delivery and maintanence of the BluePages and BlueBoard websites. The BluePages Depression Information Website is a comprehensive online source of information about depression compiled by the Centre for Mental Health Research. It provides information about the symptoms of depression and how it is diagnosed, summarises which medical, psychological and alternative treatments work for depression (and which don't) and contains an extensive list of people, organisations, books, websites, and other resources that may be helpful to people who are depressed. Users can complete online depression and anxiety quizzes (to see how their depressive and anxiety symptoms compare with others) and use a specialised search engine to search over Australian and international depression sites. BluePages also features BlueBoard - an asynchronous online bulletin board on which users can share their experiences of depression or caring for someone who is depressed. The BluePages appeal will help ensure the continued delivery of this valuable site to the community, including BlueBoard moderation, scientific review of treatment rating information, and updating of resource information.
