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.
At Hearts & Minds we are supporting several projects including the Bridge to Better (B2B) program, which is focused on the development and trial of a universal self-harm prevention program in NSW primary schools.
