The Australian Foundation for Mental Health Research

AFFIRM - The Australian Foundation for Mental Health Research

One in five Australian adults suffer from a mental health disorder in any one year.  One in four young persons will have suffered an episode of anxiety or depression by the age of 19. More people die from suicide than car accidents.

At AFFIRM, our mission is to fund scientifically researched community initiatives and interventions for mental health problems and to promote health literacy and stigma reduction through national mental health awareness raising activities.

Our ambassador's include Australia of the Year Professor Pat McGorry AO and Professor Ian Hickie AM.
