With the right research, recovery becomes a reality.

Mental illness affects 44% of Australians at some point in their life, yet research shows that with early, evidence based support, most people can recover or live well. Research tells us what works, who it helps, and how to reach people sooner.

At Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation, we fund research that turns evidence into action, strengthening treatment, building skills and supporting people within their communities.

With continued investment in research, we can help more people recover, reconnect and live full lives. 💜

We sincerely thank James Sage Director at Cheesman Architects, for his commitment to mental health and to improving care for people living with eating disorders.

James recently completed a 1,174 kilometre walk along the Camino pilgrims trail, dedicating the challenge to Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation. Over 44 days, he raised $7,249.81 to support vital mental health research.

This cause is closely connected to James’s professional work. Cheesman Architects are the appointed architects for the Statewide Eating Disorder Service Centre, which Breakthrough is delivering in partnership with SA Health, as South Australia’s first purpose built statewide eating disorder centre.

We are deeply grateful to James for his generosity and care for the community.

Small everyday actions can make a real difference. Checking in on a mate, asking how someone’s week has been or picking up the phone to say you care can help a person feel seen, heard and supported. These moments don’t need to be long, but they carry real weight. They remind people they matter.

As we look toward 2026, we want to keep strengthening this foundation of confidence and connection across our state.

If you can support our Christmas Appeal, your gift will help us reach more communities and fund more evidence-based programs and research.

Every contribution helps create another ripple of hope.

Camp Breakthrough is Australia’s first overnight mental health awareness camp for children. Delivered in partnership with AFL Max and powered by the generosity of Variety SA the Children's Charity of South Australia, it has become one of Breakthrough's strongest early intervention programs.
👉 In 2024 five schools participated and 300 students attended
👉In 2025 the camp grew to 15 schools participated with a total attendance of 922 students. 🚀
Many arrived unsure about how to talk about mental health. Most left with practical tools, stronger confidence and a clearer understanding of how to support themselves and their friends.
Thanks to the generosity of Variety, the funded camps will continue for the next two years, reaching even more young people.
