Still Becoming
Every young person is still becoming. A doctor. A musician. A teacher. A scientist. Mental ill-health can interrupt that journey. With your support, it does not have to end it.
At Orygen, we know that early intervention changes lives. When young people receive the right help early, they have a far greater chance of recovering, thriving and continuing to build the future they deserve.
Why Orygen?
So much of what young people experience is beyond their control. Without the right help, early enough, mental ill-health can quietly dismantle a young person's education, their career, and their closest relationships, often before anyone around them realises how much is at stake.
This is where Orygen comes in. Orygen is the world's leading organisation focused entirely on the mental wellbeing of young people aged 12 to 25, and soon to be Australia's National Institute for Youth Mental Health.
For more than three decades, an expert team of researchers, clinicians and educators has been changing how mental illness is understood, prevented, and treated during the most critical years of life. What sets Orygen apart is that we do not simply study the problem, nor simply treat it.
Orygen generates the knowledge, delivers the care, translates the evidence into everyday practice, and shapes the national policy that carries it to young people across Australia.
This End of Financial Year, you can help Orygen reach more young people while their futures are still ahead of them. Your gift supports the research, the clinical care, and the innovation that can change the course of a young life.
This early intervention that means a young person does not have to lose the future they were building towards before help arrives.
