R U OK Day
This was held yesterday, but it's not too late to ask someone how they are really going... R U OK Day is dedicated to inspiring all people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other ‘Are you ok?'

By raising awareness about the importance of connection and providing resources throughout the year, the R U OK? Foundation aims to prevent isolation by empowering people to support each other through life's ups and downs.
Research Study Looking for Participants
Kerry Arrow, a student from RMIT University is completing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Kerry is looking for participants for her research study, see below:

"For my doctoral thesis I designed an online group therapy program (MoodGroup) for the treatment of depression in Australian adults.

We are seeking participants for a randomised controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of MoodGroup. The program runs for 9 weeks and 6-8 participants per group meet in an online classroom for two hours each week. The groups are facilitated by provisional psychologists and the content is derived from cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Participants are also required to undertake readings and home practice activities.
Further information about MoodGroup can be found here: http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse/RMIT%20News/Newsroom/News/Media%20Releases/by%20date/Aug/Wed%2029/Online%20depression%20therapy%20participants%20sought

If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me on moodgroup@rmit.edu.au or kerry.arrow@student.rmit.edu.au.
Kind regards,
Kerry Arrow"
