As the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan, Black Dog Institute aims to create better mental health for all.
1 in 5 of us will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year. In Australia that’s around 5 million people. And roughly 60% of these people won’t seek help.
As the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan, Black Dog Institute aims to create better mental health for all.
They do this through ‘translational’ research. Integrating their research studies, education programs, digital tools and apps, clinical services, and public resources to discover new solutions, foster connections and create real-world change.
Their partnerships with people with lived experience, federal, state and local governments, communities, schools, corporate Australia and others in the mental health sector enable them to drive evidence-informed change in mental health where it’s needed most.
