'Friends in need' was published in the Essential liftout of the Sydney Morning Herald on 14.6.07. The feature highlighted the importance of recognising the early signs of mental illness and seeking help.  A selection of helpful contacts was published along with a checklist of early signs to look for, and a section with personal testimony from someone with a mental illness.

StigmaWatch contacted journalist Fran Molloy to congratulate her on this progressive piece and its encouragement of community awareness.
