This Way Up 

This Way Up was jointly designed and developed by Professor Gavin Andrews and his team of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney. As a non-profit initiative, This Way Up is sponsored by the Australian Government and the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney.

This Way Up has produced multiple resources on some simple coping tools and worksheets. They have been translated into a number of languages, including Mandarin.
