Our Institute

Prevention in practice

Prevention is at the heart of everything we do - in translating and applying research, and in developing policy, programs and resources to support our stakeholders and community.

Everymind is a leading institute dedicated to the prevention of mental ill-health and suicide, with a vision of empowering people and organisations to implement change – for themselves, for each other and for the future. The Institute has a long-standing reputation for designing, implementing and evaluating tailored policy advice, research, and programs.

We value lived and living experience, translating evidence for impact, working in partnership, and strengths-based approaches that build the capability of others for the greatest reach.

Everymind’s programs are scaled to meet people where they live, work, learn and connect. We work with the media, workplaces, and families and caregivers to bridge the knowledge to practice gap in the prevention of mental ill-health and suicide so that fewer people are impacted in the future.

Our work focuses on five priority areas:
1. Elevating prevention as a priority through strategy and policy
2. Using knowledge translation to build capability across sectors
3. Influencing media, organisations and communities to apply best-practice communication
4. Transforming the supports available to families, friends and caregivers
5. Promoting a mentally health approach across business and community.

Our vision

Empowering people and organisations to implement change - for themselves, for each other, for the future.

Our purpose

Bridging the knowledge to practice gap in the prevention of mental ill-health and suicide.

Investing in the prevention of mental ill-health, prevention of suicide and promotion of mental health and wellbeing makes good economic sense and has a focus on ensuring all people can live contributing lives.

Lived Experience Advisory Group

Everymind recognises the importance of ensuring our work is informed by the knowledge and insights of people who have lived and living experience of mental health concerns, alcohol and other drug concerns and suicidal thoughts and behaviours. This includes those who have first-hand experience as well as family, friends and caregivers. We also acknowledge that people may not use this language to describe their own experience.

At Everymind, our Lived Experience Advisory Group provide valuable insight and advice to inform the work that we do.
