Breakthrough Foundation
Breakthrough is tackling mental health head on! and is Australia’s only mental health charity that is 100% dedicated to funding research. Through investment into the areas of Depression, Indigenous mental health, Young People’s mental health, and Eating Disorders, the focus of Breakthrough is preventing mental illness occurring through early interventions and new technologies. Breakthrough acknowledged that mental health issues were growing at an alarming rate, with existing services unable to slow the growth of mental illness – the biggest health challenge in our lifetime – and its devastating impacts, and it’s because of this that the team at Breakthrough have a mission to ‘create a life free of mental illness’.
