HELP SUPPORT
Mental Health
Did you know that 43% of Australians have experienced a mental health disorder?
When nearly half your country is experiencing mental health issues, it’s hard to find a friend or loved one who hasn’t struggled with their mental health. But with those staggering statistics comes a silver lining: there are researchers tackling mental health with a powerful passion and drive to help our country out of the darkness.
By donating to mental health research through The Common Good, you’ll be contributing towards one of the biggest medical research pushes of our generation. Solving these problems won’t happen overnight, but with enough funding and community support, we can make great things happen.
