Rotary Leads Australia in Mental Health Prevention
Mental disorders
have become the main source of disability burden in Australia.
In response,
funding from the Australian Government
has supported an increase in treatment
services.
However, as the percentage of people seeking treatment has risen from
37% to 46%,
the prevalence of mental disorders in Australia appears to be
unchanged.
So the question remains: how do we reduce
the impact of mental
health on the Australian community?
Australian
Rotary Health (ARH) has become one of the first research organisations
to
commit funding into finding preventions for mental disorders.
At an ARH
Symposium held last year, which brought together 25
of Australia’s top experts
in Mental Health prevention,
evidence showed that prevention is particularly
promising
for common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
In
conjunction with Rotary Clubs, they will also run health forums
around
Australia bringing information to the community
of how they can prevent the
development mental disorders in their own lives.
Finally, a third program to
put them ahead of the pack
is the launch of an electronic newsletter
spotlighting the latest research findings
of mental health prevention across
the lifespan.
Five new
research projects will be funded this year
in the area of mental health
prevention:
·
A Multi-tiered approach to suicide prevention in young
Australians
- Tonelle Handley, National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, NSW.
·
The prevention of mental
health difficulties in adolescents
using an emotion-focussed parenting program -
S Sophieighurst,
University of Melbourne, Vic
.
·
Effective suicide
prevention campaign material for young people:
A randomised controlled trial -
Jane Pirkis,
University of Melbourne, Vic
.
·
Phase II study of an
online population-based intervention
to improve the mental health of young
people who are unemployed
- Vanessa Rose, University of New South Wales,
·
Helping young Australians
to "Look for Good":
A school-based trial of positive attention
training to increase
children's emotional well-being and prevent anxiety and
depression
- Allison Waters, Griffith University, Vic.
For more

newsletter,

The Club plans to provide
international assistance
to the impoverished villagers of Eraulo in the
Ermera District of Timor Leste
by restoring their freshwater supply.
|
The Project -
We plan to
replace 1.5 km of corroded pipeline
with irrigation poly pipe and replace the
collapsed concrete storage facility with a corrugated iron tank.
|
We plan to raise the necessary
funds, provide
and co-ordinate the volunteer labour to assist the villagers
to re-establish their essential water supply.
100% of funds raised
will be spent on the materials
for the project with the club financing any
shortfall.
|
The club's volunteers will
provide their own travel costs from Australia to Timor Leste.
The villagers
will assist with the project on a volunteer basis
and will provide undercover
camping accommodation.
The villagers will regain their fresh
water supply essential
for their good health and wellbeing.
The
club's volunteers will gain firsthand experience working in a developing
country.
