Prevention United Information

Established in 2018, Prevention United is one of Australia's leading mental health promotion organisations. Our focus is on promoting mental wellbeing and preventing the onset of depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions - across the lifespan. We are a national not-for-profit company and registered health promotion charity. Our vision is for a world where people experience their best possible mental health. Our mission is to work together with individuals, families, organisations and communities to prevent mental health conditions by fostering their strengths and reducing their risks. Our activities are organised into three work streams. • Programs and resources – We provide up-to-date information on the ways individuals, families and communities can promote and protect their mental wellbeing. We also offer wellbeing and prevention programs that enable people to look after their mental health, and reduce their risk of experiencing depression, anxiety disorders or other mental health conditions. • Capacity building – We work to build the capability and capacity of Australia’s mental health promotion system through training and consulting services that support individual practitioners, organisations & governments to increase their focus on wellbeing and prevention. • Advocacy and awareness – We raise awareness about the importance and benefits of promoting good mental health and preventing mental health conditions, and the ways this can be achieved through evidence-based programs, and mental health promoting social policies. We also advocate to governments throughout Australia to increase their investment in wellbeing and prevention initiatives.
