This post is part of the blog series running through the month of March. Authors for Mental Health runs through to the first week of April, culminating in an auction (April 1-6) in which generous authors and publishing professionals have donated everything from books to their time and expertise. This initiative has two aims: increase awareness into the importance of good mental health and raise funds for Beyond Blue, an integral Australian organisation, particularly in today’s social, emotional and political landscape. Along with Kate Gordon, Kate is one of the founders behind an exciting and important initiative, Authors for Mental Health. Today, I welcome guest blogger, Kate Foster, to Off the Beaten Track.
