The beyondblue Support Service will be staffed by mental health professionals who can help people feeling down or distressed.
``Major holidays such as Easter can trigger a range of emotions in people,'' she said.
``Most people really enjoy this time of year but some others are not so fortunate.
``For some people, spending time with their family over the break can be a very stressful experience.
``For others, the holiday can be a reminder of a loved one who has passed away or it can exacerbate financial strain.''
To talk with a trained mental health professional call the beyondblue support service 24-hour hotline on 1300 22 4636 or visit www.beyondblue.org.au for online web chat.
