Why we need your help
There is currently substantial underinvestment into research of mental ill-health. With 2 in 5 young Australians impacted by mental ill-health, we need to find new solutions and take immediate action. This is why we urgently need your support.
Our unique approach fuses research, education and advocacy to fast-track advances in patient care. Your support will enable the translation of research into real-world change, supporting prevention and early intervention to support the mental health of young people in Australia.
World-Leading Research
Without donations, we cannot continue our life-saving work. Fundraise for Orygen today and help support researchers like Associate Professor Jo Robinson, Head of Suicide Prevention Research.
Youth Suicide Prevention Research
Research into suicide prevention is crucial. Around one in four deaths of people aged 15 and 25 are due to suicide.
Although a lot is known about what’s behind suicide-related behaviours, less is known about what helps to lower suicide risk. To close this gap our suicide prevention team is developing new and better ways of preventing and treating suicide-related behaviours.
By donating to Orygen, you will be helping change the future for young people facing mental health challenges by supporting researchers like Professor Jo Robinson.
Clinical Care
Donations are essential for supporting initiatives, such as Orygen Digital and Peer Support Programmes. These initiatives combine research, technology and innovation to revolutionise youth mental health, and support young people and their families.
Orygen Digital | MOST
Orygen Digital is designing, evaluating and delivering new virtual reality-based treatments for young people with mental ill-health.
Your donations will help support the development of evidence-based VR treatments, which support young people to get back to doing the activities they enjoy.
Youth Peer Work
Orygen provides family peer support, vocational peer support and youth peer support programmes to assist young people with mental ill-health and their families.
By donating to Orygen, you will help support programmes which help promote life and social skills, confidence, empowerment, employment and hopefulness for the future among young people and their families.
Community Support
Orygen Assist
Orygen Assist is a volunteer-run program that provides access to essential items for young people and their families. This includes non-perishable food, clothing and hygiene products.
Your donations will help ensure essential items are available to young people who access our services, supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
