Help improve functional outcomes for people with mental ill-health. Orygen is researching how people living with psychosis experience social cognition and inclusion.

They are inviting people aged 25 to 65 who are living with a psychotic illness to share their experience. Participants will be reimbursed for their time.

It can be difficult engaging in face to face supports when you’re living with mental health issues. The SANE Forums are an online space where you can connect with others without the pressure some people experience with in-person support.

The 'Find help' page on our website links to helpful websites covering 24/7 help lines, gambling assistance, relationships, eating disorders, parenting and more.

If you need immediate support, Lifeline (13 11 14) and the Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467) are available 24/7. In an emergency, call 000.
