Australian Health Review acknowledges the talent of and thanks the young artists who created the posters used in the cover image, and Swan Hill District Hospital for making them available.

In July 2005, the HealthyMinds committee, consisting of agencies and interested community members in Swan Hill and district, Victoria, investigated promoting both awareness of mental health issues and their own contact and referral numbers. It was decided to tap the immense talent of local young people. MacKillop College, the Swan Hill College and Tyrell College all took part, with funding from the Division of General Practice and Mallee Family Care making the creation of the posters possible. Year 11 students developed posters of incredibly high standard, resulting in 14 posters raising awareness of mental health issues.

All 14 of the posters available can be viewed at: <http://www.swanhillhosp.vic.gov.au/UserDocs/news/orderlistforweb.pdf>
