Beyond Blue, in collaboration with LGBTIQ+ communities and the November Foundation, has produced a
national campaign aimed at improving the Australian community's understanding of discriminatory
behaviors and the impact it can have on the mental health of LGBTIQ+ communities.
The campaign, including the Left-hand cinema commercial and real-life stories, works
predominantly with the broader Australian community, and young people in particular. It has
been designed to prompt people to stop the discrimination, think about how comments you
make could cause real distress and harm, and respect people who are different from you.
