Have you seen the Lowdown site (http://www.thelowdown.co.nz/) aimed at tackling youth depression? 
Do you think this sort of multi-media site is particularly effective at engaging young people (who do tend to be quite internet-savvy)?

 Thanks Yulong -the site forms part of the national depression initiative and is run by lifeline NZ on behalf of the MOH.
Also keep an eye on www.depression.org.nz :  you will get an initial glimpse of what by next year should be one of the most innovative multimedia campaigns in the world
