What does BDI do? 16 January 2024 05:37 Updated Black Dog Institute is the only medical institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan. Black Dog Institute is driven to support the 65% of the community who would not ordinarily seek help and we do that through Science, Compassion and Action. Our research findings give us hope for the future. And by rapidly translating our research into evidence-based programs, services, and products, that hope can become reality. We want the best information we have available to be in the hands of the people who need it. To help themselves, their friends and family, their students, their workplaces, and their communities. The money raised by you and the Mullets for Mental Health community is used to create real-world action in these three important areas: 1. More education, training and resources 2. Using technology to help teens sleep better 3. Funding mental health research We know that through hard work, continuous knowledge sharing, and being led by the evidence, we can help to provide better mental health for all Australians.
