Putting a spotlight on mental health in sports 🧠🏉 Data shows that up to 35% of elite athletes suffer from a mental health crisis. This is why Black Dog Institute joins forces with sports organisations, providing tools and resources for fostering better mental health. Let's not forget the 3,249 lives tragically lost to suicide last year. In a touching tribute, the Sydney Swans - staff, sponsors, and supporters, have committed to cycle this exact number of km on stationary bikes to raise funds for mental health, partnering with us to make a difference. 🚴♂️🧡 Watch our video below 👇 #mentalhealth #afl #sydneyswans #fundraising
About us
As the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan, our aim is to create a mentally healthier world for everyone through innovations in science, education, clinical service, public policy and knowledge translation. Our areas of strength include suicide prevention, digital mental health, workplace mental health, new treatments, and prevention in young people. Our unique translational approach allows us to quickly turn our world-class scientific findings into clinical services, educational programs and e-health products that improve the lives of people with mental illness. We join the dots, connecting research answers, expert knowledge and the voices of lived experience to deliver solutions that work across the health care system for patients and practitioners alike. Our partnerships with people with lived experience, federal, state, and local governments, communities, schools, workplaces, philanthropists, health services, clinicians, and others in the mental health sector enables us to create real-world change.
