The two organisations have established the Rockhampton River Run Foundation for Prevention of Anxiety and Depression.

The Foundation will help fund a study aiming to provide, and evaluate, services for anxiety-disordered youth and families at the Psychology Wellness Centre on Rockhampton Campus. This will boost the reach of effective intervention services and have a longer-term impact by reducing rates of depression and suicide risk in young people.

The Rocky River Run is on Sunday June 2 and registrations are still open (for 2km, 5km, 10km and 21km events) via www.rockyriverrun.com/ .
