Annual Report 2013
Madness is a real world for the many thousands of people who are right now living within it and dying within it It never apologises Sometimes it is a shadow ever present without regard for the sun Sometimes it is a well of dark water with no bottom or a levitation device to the stars It takes away the rational minds of ordinary people It takes our hearts knowing death so well This world was once my pair of horns my pair of wings Now we regard each other with caution and yes healthy respect Both bruised but very much alive We ndash the people who inhabit this world ndash are in every other respect just like you We want to live wellKate Richards Madness A Memoir (Penguin 2013)

SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better life
SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better lifeAnxiety Depression Bipolar disorder Psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia Personality disorders and other conditions
Almost half of all Australians experience a mental health problem at some time in life And every one of these has family friends fellow students or work colleagues who are affected by their condition
Mental illness isnrsquot something that happens to lsquoother peoplersquo Itrsquos something that affects all of us at some time in some way
Itrsquos about people like us
Mental illness does not discriminate It affects one in five of us every year regardless of age background career culture or economic status
Mental health problems are treatable yet two out of three of us who experience them do not access the treatment and support we need
Why Lack of recognition of symptoms concerns about stigma and discrimination confusion about where to go or what to do inadequate or nonexistent mental health services and policies ndash all of these contribute to the unnecessary and distressing cost of mental illness to Australian lives today
Through all of its activities SANE Australia is passionately committed to addressing these problems through Campaigns Research Education Support and Training
We refer to these five areas of our work as the lsquoCRESTrsquo

lsquoSANE Australia touched the lives of over 600000 Australians last year With your support we aim to make a difference to one million lives a year by 2018rsquoJack Heath Chief Executive Officer
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 7
One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 11
SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work
Direct contact with people living with and managing mental illness is one of the most powerful ways of reducing stigma and promoting the inclusion of people with a mental illness in our community
Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f Our SANE Speakers played a major role in developing and taking part in our Say no to stigma video campaign which helps people understand the experience of living with a mental illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences

f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia

We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013

f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

For the past 27 years SANE Australia has been a leader in getting mental health on the public agenda
We were an international pioneer in the reduction of stigma and have always taken a national approach to our work We span the full spectrum of mental health issues and we put people before their diagnosis With our deep-seated commitment to working directly with people affected by mental illness SANE Australia brings a unique combination of history skills and commitment
We want to create a better life for all Australians affected by mental illness Please join us on the journey
Madness is a real world for the many thousands of people who are right now living within it and dying within it It never apologises Sometimes it is a shadow ever present without regard for the sun Sometimes it is a well of dark water with no bottom or a levitation device to the stars It takes away the rational minds of ordinary people It takes our hearts knowing death so well This world was once my pair of horns my pair of wings Now we regard each other with caution and yes healthy respect Both bruised but very much alive We ndash the people who inhabit this world ndash are in every other respect just like you We want to live wellKate Richards Madness A Memoir (Penguin 2013)

SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better life
SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better lifeAnxiety Depression Bipolar disorder Psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia Personality disorders and other conditions
Almost half of all Australians experience a mental health problem at some time in life And every one of these has family friends fellow students or work colleagues who are affected by their condition
Mental illness isnrsquot something that happens to lsquoother peoplersquo Itrsquos something that affects all of us at some time in some way
Itrsquos about people like us
Mental illness does not discriminate It affects one in five of us every year regardless of age background career culture or economic status
Mental health problems are treatable yet two out of three of us who experience them do not access the treatment and support we need
Why Lack of recognition of symptoms concerns about stigma and discrimination confusion about where to go or what to do inadequate or nonexistent mental health services and policies ndash all of these contribute to the unnecessary and distressing cost of mental illness to Australian lives today
Through all of its activities SANE Australia is passionately committed to addressing these problems through Campaigns Research Education Support and Training
We refer to these five areas of our work as the lsquoCRESTrsquo

lsquoSANE Australia touched the lives of over 600000 Australians last year With your support we aim to make a difference to one million lives a year by 2018rsquoJack Heath Chief Executive Officer
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 7
One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

Media CentreThe SANE Media Centre promotes and supports the accurate and responsible portrayal of mental illness and suicide within the Australian media
The SANE Media Centre provides a lsquoone-stoprsquo service of information expert comment advice and referral for journalists reporting on mental illness and suicide and provides advice and support to organisations within the mental health sector on how to deal with the media
We also run the StigmaWatch program which voices community feedback about representations in the media that stigmatise mental illness or inadvertently promote self-harm and suicide StigmaWatch does not aim to stop media reports on these issues but encourages more accurate and responsible reporting which helps break down stigma and increases the understanding of mental illness
Our Media Centre is supported by the Australian Government as part of the Mindframe National Media Initiative We also work in partnership with many other organisations and bodies including Australiarsquos most popular health websites ninemsn health and Better Health Channel to supply information on mental health and related topics

f StigmaWatch was an important community voice this year with 214 StigmaWatch reports and 28 Good News reports
f Two major reports were published A Life Without Stigma a landmark report that examines the impact stigma has on the lives of people living with a mental illness and StigmaWatch ndash Tackling Stigma Against Mental Illness and Suicide illustrating how our work helps change community attitudes about mental illness Both reports were commissioned from Barbara Hocking OAM the former Executive Director of SANE Australia

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work
Direct contact with people living with and managing mental illness is one of the most powerful ways of reducing stigma and promoting the inclusion of people with a mental illness in our community
Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f Our SANE Speakers played a major role in developing and taking part in our Say no to stigma video campaign which helps people understand the experience of living with a mental illness
f SANE Speakers were an integral part of the SANE Mindful Employer Program going to workplaces and talking at workshops and events so that others can understand what itrsquos like living and working with a mental illness
f SANE Speakers helped interview and recruit new colleagues using their networks and skills to reach out to those who will also be an inspiration to others

Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an extensive report which included recommendations for future work in this area
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia

Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services

SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better life
SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better lifeAnxiety Depression Bipolar disorder Psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia Personality disorders and other conditions
Almost half of all Australians experience a mental health problem at some time in life And every one of these has family friends fellow students or work colleagues who are affected by their condition
Mental illness isnrsquot something that happens to lsquoother peoplersquo Itrsquos something that affects all of us at some time in some way
Itrsquos about people like us
Mental illness does not discriminate It affects one in five of us every year regardless of age background career culture or economic status
Mental health problems are treatable yet two out of three of us who experience them do not access the treatment and support we need
Why Lack of recognition of symptoms concerns about stigma and discrimination confusion about where to go or what to do inadequate or nonexistent mental health services and policies ndash all of these contribute to the unnecessary and distressing cost of mental illness to Australian lives today
Through all of its activities SANE Australia is passionately committed to addressing these problems through Campaigns Research Education Support and Training

One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support

We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

For the past 27 years SANE Australia has been a leader in getting mental health on the public agenda
We were an international pioneer in the reduction of stigma and have always taken a national approach to our work We span the full spectrum of mental health issues and we put people before their diagnosis With our deep-seated commitment to working directly with people affected by mental illness SANE Australia brings a unique combination of history skills and commitment
We want to create a better life for all Australians affected by mental illness Please join us on the journey
SANE Australia Helping all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better lifeAnxiety Depression Bipolar disorder Psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia Personality disorders and other conditions
Almost half of all Australians experience a mental health problem at some time in life And every one of these has family friends fellow students or work colleagues who are affected by their condition
Mental illness isnrsquot something that happens to lsquoother peoplersquo Itrsquos something that affects all of us at some time in some way
Itrsquos about people like us
Mental illness does not discriminate It affects one in five of us every year regardless of age background career culture or economic status
Mental health problems are treatable yet two out of three of us who experience them do not access the treatment and support we need
Why Lack of recognition of symptoms concerns about stigma and discrimination confusion about where to go or what to do inadequate or nonexistent mental health services and policies ndash all of these contribute to the unnecessary and distressing cost of mental illness to Australian lives today
Through all of its activities SANE Australia is passionately committed to addressing these problems through Campaigns Research Education Support and Training
We refer to these five areas of our work as the lsquoCRESTrsquo

lsquoSANE Australia touched the lives of over 600000 Australians last year With your support we aim to make a difference to one million lives a year by 2018rsquoJack Heath Chief Executive Officer
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 7
One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work

Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences

lsquoSANE Australia touched the lives of over 600000 Australians last year With your support we aim to make a difference to one million lives a year by 2018rsquoJack Heath Chief Executive Officer
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 7
One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work

Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013

HelplineThe SANE Helpline is an Australia-wide free service that provides information support and referral to appropriate services that help those who donrsquot know where to go what to do or how to cope with what they a family member or friend is experiencing The Helpline is often the first port of call for people feeling incredibly overwhelmed
The SANE Helpline has three channels
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We answered over 10000 calls from Australians seeking support through mental health information advice and referral
f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do

We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances
The Suicide Prevention Project is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

lsquoSANE Australia touched the lives of over 600000 Australians last year With your support we aim to make a difference to one million lives a year by 2018rsquoJack Heath Chief Executive Officer
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 7
One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work

Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013

Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services

We want to create a better life for all Australians affected by mental illness Please join us on the journey
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 7
One million lives2013 has been a good year for SANE Australia
Building on SANErsquos 27 years of outstanding work we made a conscious decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected by mental illness
We established a new management structure recruited in new staff and introduced new reporting processes We grew the board and established Governance and Risk and Audit committees We established an office in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth phase
At the same time we increased our impact by helping more people than ever before
Over the last twelve months we touched the lives of over 600000 Australians ndash an increase of 50 on the previous twelve months While this was primarily through increased traffic to our website we also grew programs most noticeably our Mindful Employer program along with welcoming new people to our Speakers program Unfortunately we did not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine services We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in media coverage of mental illness and suicide
We also drew on SANErsquos strong standing across the mental health sector to call for a ten year vision for Australia to lead the world in mental health services programs and outcomes
Importantly the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the sector is gathering support in the sector
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental Health Council of Australia membership of the Steering Committee of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance and membership of the Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform The ERG formulated 10 year targets ndash including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction ndash which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian Governments We also attended President Obamarsquos National Mental Health Summit at the White House
We produced major reports on aged care stigma reduction and suicide prevention for mental health professionals
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums which will provide a new sense of community connection and support for people affected by mental illness including their carers and families
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience of mental illness others do the same We met people from all walks of life including business and community leaders who welcomed the opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to our goal to touch one million lives by 2018
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big focus on our Online Community Forums We will undertake a major strategic review to examine our options to significantly increase our impact We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community is aware of SANErsquos great work We will work with other organisations to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign ndash an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have benefited from SANErsquos work over the last year we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers staff patrons and board
We also thank our many individual supporters ndash those who have been such loyal friends of SANE and those we welcomed on board for the first time
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the SANE board after fifteen years of wonderful service
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life of SANE Australia We would love for you to continue on the journey with us so that together we can do something special in the lives of all Australians affected by mental illness

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work
Direct contact with people living with and managing mental illness is one of the most powerful ways of reducing stigma and promoting the inclusion of people with a mental illness in our community
Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an extensive report which included recommendations for future work in this area
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia

The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We answered over 10000 calls from Australians seeking support through mental health information advice and referral
f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do
The sooner people get support and treatment the less impact mental illness has on them and their familiesSumayya Chawla Helpline Advisor

Our Mindful Employer face-to-face workshops are facilitated by experienced trainers who have a corporate background and extensive experience working in mental health Our SANE Speakers a team of people affected by mental illness are also supported to talk candidly about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to everyone involved
We now have over 30 clients and organisations ndash from small businesses to large multinational banking corporations ndash that are part of our Mindful Employer Program This commitment is not only helping people deal with mental illness but also helping us to improve attitudes and behaviours surrounding mental health still prevalent in Australia today

Suicide Prevention ProjectSANE Australiarsquos mental illness bereavement and suicide prevention project works to improve services and support for family and friends of people with a mental illness who have died by suicide or who are missing
We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances
The Suicide Prevention Project is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work

Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences

In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers

Suicide Prevention ProjectSANE Australiarsquos mental illness bereavement and suicide prevention project works to improve services and support for family and friends of people with a mental illness who have died by suicide or who are missing
We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances
The Suicide Prevention Project is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We delivered 14 mental illness and bereavement workshops to mental health organisations in Australia training a total of 172 people
f We formed a partnership with the Australian Council of Community Services in Brisbane and trained their facilitators to deliver the mental illness and bereavement workshop They have now trained an additional 111 people
f We developed the Suicide Prevention and Recovery Guide to support mental health workers who are helping people who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviours This resource has been disseminated to over 3000 mental health workers
f We formed a partnership with the University of New England to conduct joint research into the experiences of people who have attempted suicide
f We completed a scoping study into the suicide prevention activities being undertaken by mental health services in Australia

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

Media CentreThe SANE Media Centre promotes and supports the accurate and responsible portrayal of mental illness and suicide within the Australian media
The SANE Media Centre provides a lsquoone-stoprsquo service of information expert comment advice and referral for journalists reporting on mental illness and suicide and provides advice and support to organisations within the mental health sector on how to deal with the media
We also run the StigmaWatch program which voices community feedback about representations in the media that stigmatise mental illness or inadvertently promote self-harm and suicide StigmaWatch does not aim to stop media reports on these issues but encourages more accurate and responsible reporting which helps break down stigma and increases the understanding of mental illness
Our Media Centre is supported by the Australian Government as part of the Mindframe National Media Initiative We also work in partnership with many other organisations and bodies including Australiarsquos most popular health websites ninemsn health and Better Health Channel to supply information on mental health and related topics
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We got people talking about mental health over 1000 media stories featured SANE Australia content this year
f We kept the media and mental health sectors informed through our special eBulletins
f We conducted media training workshops in Hobart and Brisbane with senior staff from over 20 mental health organisations
f We played a major role in launching the National Mental Health Commissionrsquos first Report Card We engaged with indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) media to help reduce stigma in these communities and progress this initiative We also contributed regularly to the Community Radio Suicide Prevention Project on national indigenous and CALD radio stations
f StigmaWatch was an important community voice this year with 214 StigmaWatch reports and 28 Good News reports
f Two major reports were published A Life Without Stigma a landmark report that examines the impact stigma has on the lives of people living with a mental illness and StigmaWatch ndash Tackling Stigma Against Mental Illness and Suicide illustrating how our work helps change community attitudes about mental illness Both reports were commissioned from Barbara Hocking OAM the former Executive Director of SANE Australia
f A new edition of the SANE Guide to Reducing Stigma was developed with new sections on self-stigma electronic media and industry codes and guidelines

SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work
Direct contact with people living with and managing mental illness is one of the most powerful ways of reducing stigma and promoting the inclusion of people with a mental illness in our community
Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an extensive report which included recommendations for future work in this area
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia
Sometimes I feel quite scared about getting older I am on my own and already isolated and lonely I can only imagine that this will get worseMental Health Care for Older Australians report respondent

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services

SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 11
SpeakersSANE Speakers are a team of people affected by mental illness who talk candidly in public forums about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to our campaigning and other work
Direct contact with people living with and managing mental illness is one of the most powerful ways of reducing stigma and promoting the inclusion of people with a mental illness in our community
Trained and supported by SANE Australia our speakers talk to the media and employers contribute to advocacy research and new information resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to connect with others forming relationships with peers which helps to offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with a mental illness Donations and other support help us to recruit train and support more speakers as we continue to work towards a better life for all people affected by mental Illness
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f Our SANE Speakers played a major role in developing and taking part in our Say no to stigma video campaign which helps people understand the experience of living with a mental illness
f SANE Speakers were an integral part of the SANE Mindful Employer Program going to workplaces and talking at workshops and events so that others can understand what itrsquos like living and working with a mental illness

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an extensive report which included recommendations for future work in this area
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia
Sometimes I feel quite scared about getting older I am on my own and already isolated and lonely I can only imagine that this will get worseMental Health Care for Older Australians report respondent

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services

Research
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an extensive report which included recommendations for future work in this area
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 13
Research BulletinsSANE Australia conducts action research to help people affected by mental illness today We research the whole-of-life impact of mental illness and what needs to be done to reduce this
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience and perspectives of people affected by mental illness making recommendations for action based on these responses
Issues covered include housing employment stigma and social isolation among others The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE Australia and other organisations as well as being used to promote these issues through the media
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations universities and government departments A recent major project was the People Living with Psychotic Illness study to which SANE contributed and also produced a response document identifying changes in policy and practice from the study
In 2012-2013 SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues Parenting when you have a mental illness and contact with emergency services when someone has a mental illness As with all of the Bulletins the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-life experience of people living with a mental illness their family and other carers
Aged Care ProjectThe SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness and evaluates how these needs are currently being met ndash their mental and physical health care accommodation and social support
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental illness and yet Australiarsquos population is rapidly ageing with baby boomers forming a prominent lsquobulgersquo We are starting to see an increasing number of older adults living with mental illness creating challenges for housing community support programs and public mental health services
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate Foundation the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the research we do The results of this project will continue to inform best practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will advocate and promote
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review online surveys and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental illness as well as health professionals looking after them to gain a thorough understanding of their experiences
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an extensive report which included recommendations for future work in this area
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental Health Services Conference in 2013
f A project report Growing Older Staying Well ndash Mental Health Care for Older Australians was distributed to over 600 mental health and aged care organisations around Australia
Sometimes I feel quite scared about getting older I am on my own and already isolated and lonely I can only imagine that this will get worseMental Health Care for Older Australians report respondent

The right help at the right time
Support
SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 17
HelplineThe SANE Helpline is an Australia-wide free service that provides information support and referral to appropriate services that help those who donrsquot know where to go what to do or how to cope with what they a family member or friend is experiencing The Helpline is often the first port of call for people feeling incredibly overwhelmed
The SANE Helpline has three channels
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We answered over 10000 calls from Australians seeking support through mental health information advice and referral
f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do
The sooner people get support and treatment the less impact mental illness has on them and their familiesSumayya Chawla Helpline Advisor

Mindful Employer ProgramSANE Australiarsquos Mindful Employer is an eLearning and face-to-face workplace mental health training program that provides answers to important questions What are the signs of a mental health problem What do you do if concerned about a colleague or employee And how do you manage reasonable workplace adjustments
With the right knowledge and advice a business can avoid potential productivity losses while also providing understanding and support ndash two things that can make all the difference when someone is affected by a mental illness
Within the program people have access to general information on mental illnesses such as depression anxiety bipolar disorder schizophrenia and other conditions They gain the skills to learn to understand and recognise the early warning signs of mental illness and support someone at work who is affected or is caring for someone else who is
Our Mindful Employer face-to-face workshops are facilitated by experienced trainers who have a corporate background and extensive experience working in mental health Our SANE Speakers a team of people affected by mental illness are also supported to talk candidly about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to everyone involved
We now have over 30 clients and organisations ndash from small businesses to large multinational banking corporations ndash that are part of our Mindful Employer Program This commitment is not only helping people deal with mental illness but also helping us to improve attitudes and behaviours surrounding mental health still prevalent in Australia today
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f 2200 employees and 33 clients signed up to the Mindful Employer Program
f The Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) reported that our Mindful Employer Program has been the most in-demand workshop from their members this year Our partnership with AHRI continues to grow as more organisations seek this training

Suicide Prevention ProjectSANE Australiarsquos mental illness bereavement and suicide prevention project works to improve services and support for family and friends of people with a mental illness who have died by suicide or who are missing
We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances
The Suicide Prevention Project is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We delivered 14 mental illness and bereavement workshops to mental health organisations in Australia training a total of 172 people
f We formed a partnership with the Australian Council of Community Services in Brisbane and trained their facilitators to deliver the mental illness and bereavement workshop They have now trained an additional 111 people
f We developed the Suicide Prevention and Recovery Guide to support mental health workers who are helping people who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviours This resource has been disseminated to over 3000 mental health workers
f We formed a partnership with the University of New England to conduct joint research into the experiences of people who have attempted suicide
f We completed a scoping study into the suicide prevention activities being undertaken by mental health services in Australia

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

lsquoWhen we talk about mental illness most people tend to think wersquore trying to treat the mind alone But focusing on physical health can have an enormous impact on mental wellnessrsquoCatriona Bastian Mind + Body Project Coordinator

HelplineThe SANE Helpline is an Australia-wide free service that provides information support and referral to appropriate services that help those who donrsquot know where to go what to do or how to cope with what they a family member or friend is experiencing The Helpline is often the first port of call for people feeling incredibly overwhelmed
The SANE Helpline has three channels
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We answered over 10000 calls from Australians seeking support through mental health information advice and referral
f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do

Our Mindful Employer face-to-face workshops are facilitated by experienced trainers who have a corporate background and extensive experience working in mental health Our SANE Speakers a team of people affected by mental illness are also supported to talk candidly about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to everyone involved
We now have over 30 clients and organisations ndash from small businesses to large multinational banking corporations ndash that are part of our Mindful Employer Program This commitment is not only helping people deal with mental illness but also helping us to improve attitudes and behaviours surrounding mental health still prevalent in Australia today

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

The SANE Helpline has three channels
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored

f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013

f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 17
HelplineThe SANE Helpline is an Australia-wide free service that provides information support and referral to appropriate services that help those who donrsquot know where to go what to do or how to cope with what they a family member or friend is experiencing The Helpline is often the first port of call for people feeling incredibly overwhelmed
The SANE Helpline has three channels
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We answered over 10000 calls from Australians seeking support through mental health information advice and referral
f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do
The sooner people get support and treatment the less impact mental illness has on them and their familiesSumayya Chawla Helpline Advisor

Within the program people have access to general information on mental illnesses such as depression anxiety bipolar disorder schizophrenia and other conditions They gain the skills to learn to understand and recognise the early warning signs of mental illness and support someone at work who is affected or is caring for someone else who is
Our Mindful Employer face-to-face workshops are facilitated by experienced trainers who have a corporate background and extensive experience working in mental health Our SANE Speakers a team of people affected by mental illness are also supported to talk candidly about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to everyone involved
We now have over 30 clients and organisations ndash from small businesses to large multinational banking corporations ndash that are part of our Mindful Employer Program This commitment is not only helping people deal with mental illness but also helping us to improve attitudes and behaviours surrounding mental health still prevalent in Australia today
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

HelplineThe SANE Helpline is an Australia-wide free service that provides information support and referral to appropriate services that help those who donrsquot know where to go what to do or how to cope with what they a family member or friend is experiencing The Helpline is often the first port of call for people feeling incredibly overwhelmed
The SANE Helpline has three channels
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service but as technology has evolved so too have the ways people seek information and support As a response to those needs we have also grown and diversified to offer these highly sought-after online services This allows us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about mental illness in themselves or others including a growing proportion of contacts concerned with suicide
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job As such we employ qualified mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries They also receive extensive in-house training especially in helping anyone who may be at risk
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our Advisors and the work that goes into building solid relationships with other organisations and services Together we continue to grow our service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in crisis are not ignored
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We answered over 10000 calls from Australians seeking support through mental health information advice and referral
f We responded to over 2000 Support Link contacts ndash a new service that provides referral for people who have been in contact with emergency services
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to communicate directly with an Advisor in this way
f To ensure we reach SANErsquos goal of making a difference to more lives than ever before we welcomed new Advisors Emily Elise and Rebekah to the Helpline We now have a total of eight Advisors in the team
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we provide to those in need we implemented a new supervision model that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of everything we do
The sooner people get support and treatment the less impact mental illness has on them and their familiesSumayya Chawla Helpline Advisor

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

Within the program people have access to general information on mental illnesses such as depression anxiety bipolar disorder schizophrenia and other conditions They gain the skills to learn to understand and recognise the early warning signs of mental illness and support someone at work who is affected or is caring for someone else who is
Our Mindful Employer face-to-face workshops are facilitated by experienced trainers who have a corporate background and extensive experience working in mental health Our SANE Speakers a team of people affected by mental illness are also supported to talk candidly about their personal experience and provide unique authentic input to everyone involved
We now have over 30 clients and organisations ndash from small businesses to large multinational banking corporations ndash that are part of our Mindful Employer Program This commitment is not only helping people deal with mental illness but also helping us to improve attitudes and behaviours surrounding mental health still prevalent in Australia today

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia

Suicide Prevention ProjectSANE Australiarsquos mental illness bereavement and suicide prevention project works to improve services and support for family and friends of people with a mental illness who have died by suicide or who are missing
We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information development of resources and education or training SANE has also been examining the important role that all mental health services can play in suicide prevention
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much higher risk of ending their own lives Thatrsquos why suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE Australiarsquos activities We recognise the value in learning from other peoplersquos experiences of suicide and are guided by those experiences to help others in similar circumstances
The Suicide Prevention Project is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We delivered 14 mental illness and bereavement workshops to mental health organisations in Australia training a total of 172 people
f We formed a partnership with the Australian Council of Community Services in Brisbane and trained their facilitators to deliver the mental illness and bereavement workshop They have now trained an additional 111 people

SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 21
Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia
Catriona Bastian Mind + Body Project Coordinator
lsquoWhen we talk about mental illness most people tend to think wersquore trying to treat the mind alone But focusing on physical health can have an enormous impact on mental wellnessrsquoCatriona Bastian Mind + Body Project Coordinator

SANE Australia Annual Report 2013 I 21
Mind + Body ProjectSANE Australiarsquos Mind + Body Project recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental illness as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure insomnia diabetes heart disease and obesity This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes to these conditions such as not exercising and craving sweet foods alcohol and cigarettes
Every year we promote common sense steps to improve the health of the whole person As well as campaigning for improved treatments and support we have developed a range of training resources in this area
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami National ndash a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation and recovery support such as housing to people with a mental illness ndash to promote and distribute our resources nationally and make physical wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services
Our achievements in 2012ndash2013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government which led to the development and launch of three new Quit Smoking resources ndash available at quitnowgovau ndash that are targeted at people living with a mental illness
f We completed the Mind + Body Rehabilitation and Support Development Project Final Report which documents a three-year project that we worked on with Neami National This involved researching and then developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching This program teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of their choice Wersquore proud to say this is the first project of its kind in Australia
Catriona Bastian Mind + Body Project Coordinator
lsquoWhen we talk about mental illness most people tend to think wersquore trying to treat the mind alone But focusing on physical health can have an enormous impact on mental wellnessrsquoCatriona Bastian Mind + Body Project Coordinator
