About Us
Our Research
Our Mission is transforming mental health and well-being through primary care and community action. Our focus is to embed lived-experience within all aspects of mental health research, implementation and translation. Our research programs span prevention across the life course, longer healthier lives in priority populations such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people who live with mental ill-health, lived-experience led research, and mental health care at-scale. Our aim is to deliver a holistic health care system that improves experiences and outlooks for all.
Our Objectives
We bring research, implementation and translation together to harness our collective capacity for mental health care at-scale. The ALIVE National Centre for Mental Health Research Translation operates as a networked model across 17 Australian University partners to:
- Embed preventive models of care across the life course that address structural barriers to care and identify community levers for change
- Address unmet physical health needs in priority populations by implementation of community-led, tailored models of care
- Foster the next generation of mental health research leaders including providing tailored pathways for lived-experience researchers and lived-experience led research
- Implement mental health care at-scale using experience co-design
The ALIVE National Centre for Mental Health Research Translation is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Special Initiative in Mental Health (GNT2002047). For more in-depth information visit the ALIVE National Centre website below.
