The RMIT University (Melbourne) Psychology Department is calling for volunteers to complete an anonymous online survey, entitled the Tellsomeone Project, that will be used as a basis to help individuals and communities affected by depression, suicide, domestic and sexual abuse, and trauma. The researchers are keen for as many people as possible across Australia to be given the opportunity to participate, and especially wish to extend this invitation to members of marginalised and isolated groups.
We would appreciate it if you would forward this information on to your networks and/or to women and men you think may be interested in participating. Large numbers of volunteers are urgently needed - both people who have personally experienced traumatic events, AND those who have not, so that comparisons can be made. ANYONE over 16 is welcome, and able to make a positive and practical contribution towards addressing these serious social issues. The attached flyers (3 versions) provide more information, and can be forwarded electronically, included in newsletters or similar, or printed for distribution or display on noticeboards, in waiting rooms, etc. Bookmarks containing the same information can also be posted to interested organisations for distribution. We would welcome any other creative assistance with publicity (e.g., webmasters who are able to place a link to the Tellsomeone Project onto relevant websites). Any efforts your organisation is able to make in terms of helping us to promote the research would be most valuable and much appreciated. We also wanted to let you know that, as a potential support for participants or visitors to the Tellsomeone Project website, we have included contact details for your service in the Support Services section, located at the end of the survey. This section can be viewed without completing the survey by going to http://weblearn.rmit.edu.au/tellsomeone/s10.htm The survey itself can be accessed by entering the words: Tellsomeone Project into Google, or via the following address: http://weblearn.rmit.edu.au/tellsomeone/ For any further information, please contact me via email or telephone. Thank you for your interest and support of this important research.
