'She'll be right' attitude must go- AWU

The attitude of 'she'll be right' by blue-collar workers to mental health issues will be challenged in a new campaign.

Mental health organisation Beyond Blue has teamed up with the  Australian Workers' Union to tackle depression and anxiety in the  workplace.

They've developed posters and wallet cards which will be  distributed to the union's 140,000 members, giving them information  about mental health issues and where they can get help.

AWU National Secretary Paul Howes says people often ignore the  signs of mental illness for too long.

'There has been a longstanding culture of workers in blue-collar  industries hiding difficulties and trying to just tough it out,' Mr  Howes told the AWU national conference on the Gold Coast on  Wednesday.

'As a result, problems are left untreated and allowed to spiral  out of control.'
