Mental Health & Well-Being Foundation

Welcome to Mental Health & Well-Being Foundation, a leading advocate for mental health awareness and advocacy. We believe that by bringing together civil society, academic institutions, political officials, and mental health professionals, we can raise the level of commitment to mental health issues globally.

We offer a range of programs to help achieve our mission, including conferences, training and workshops, education, research, and community engagement. Our workshops and training programs, including Mental Health First Aid, Suicide Prevention, Schizophrenia, and Alcohol & Drug issues (AOD), are designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to effectively support those affected by mental health challenges.

In addition to our training programs, we also offer educational opportunities for PhD students in mental health. In partnership with the University of Newcastle and other universities, we are proud to facilitate scholarships to help support the next generation of mental health professionals.

Join us in our mission to raise awareness and support those affected by mental health and substance abuse issues. Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of millions of people.

We support young people aged 5–18 from African migrant backgrounds and their families in primary and secondary education to improve their educational engagement by removing barriers and increasing access to the learning supports they need.

We provide counselling and case management services, as well as referrals to young people and families across the 10 regions we cover. We also deliver educational sessions about the harms of alcohol and other drug use to families and young people in the community.
