“It’s changed our lives”

Seeing our funded research save lives is both humbling and deeply fulfilling.
At our Catalyst Gala at SkyCity Adelaide our guest speaker Ian Smith bravely shared how the DBT-A Youth Su***de Prevention Program saved his son’s life.

The pilot program was co-funded by Breakthrough and the James and Diana Ramsay Foundation, supporting young people facing suicidality and self-harm. Due to the undeniable success of the pilot, the program has now been permanently funded by SA Health facilitated by the team at Southern Adelaide Local Health Network - SALHN
With an over 70% graduation rate, we’ve watched young people go on to reengage with education, prosper at university and live fulfilling and successful lives.
We’re now exploring the benefits of a new graduate program, for continued support for the young people after the completion of the initial program.
This is what happens when research, passion, and community come together.

This speaks to the heart of why mental health research matters, creating the knowledge, tools, and support that allow people to live openly, safely, and authentically.
