Our Values
Collaboration
We value collaboration with the many organisations, sector leaders and informed professionals. We have direct links with key clinicians, researchers and the leadership teams of Orygen Youth Mental Health, SANE, Headspace and Black Dog. We are working with these organisations and others, to develop key research questions and resource projects that will improve youth mental health.
Evidence Based
Research must be the basis of practice in Australian hospitals and mental health services. We must marry the insight of lived experience with existing and emerging research to shape our Mental Health system.
Hope and Commitment
Hope is about seeing the light even when it's dark. Hope needs to be exercised by the young person, family, clinicians, professionals and other supports. We are committed to improving the lives of those impacted by complex mental illness through supporting research and implementation of best practice.
