Suicide is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15-44, and 60% of Australians reporting symptoms of mental illness don't seek help.

Our researchers are working to develop robust, effective and evidence-based programs that reach people in the remotest corners of Australia and improve mental health outcomes. Programs like:

Smooth Sailing
An Australian-first pilot of a web-based mental health service in NSW high schools, which found that 1 in 5 young people reported experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. 80% of these students were previously unknown to their school counsellors.

Sleep Ninja
A personal sleep coach for young kids that helps improve sleep quality and symptoms of insomnia, which in turn reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Your donation will help programs like these improve mental health outcomes for Australians of all ages.
