What if recovery from trauma doesn’t stop when the day ends?

Sleep matters and for young people with PTSD, it can be the missing piece.
At Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation, we’re proud to support awareness of the CHATTS clinical trial led by Alice Bowie at Flinders University University.

👉A free, evidence-based program for adolescents (13–18) experiencing trauma and sleep difficulties.
👉This free, 10-session program combines trauma-focused therapy with sleep treatment to better support adolescents aged 13–18 experiencing both PTSD and sleep challenges.

Because recovery shouldn’t stop at bedtime.

Eligibility:
▫️ Ages 13–18
▫️ Trauma (4+ weeks ago)
▫️ PTSD + sleep difficulties
▫️ Parent/guardian participation

If you know of someone or a family who could benefit from this program, please contact: CHATTS@flinders.edu.au

We’re incredibly grateful to have been part of such a meaningful moment.
Our thoughts are with the Dawson family. Seeing the community come together in support like this is truly powerful.
Thank you for helping shine a light on the importance of mental health and for wearing the beanies with pride. It’s through moments like these that we continue to break down stigma and remind people they’re not alone.💜

Imagine cycling solo around Australia…
Day after day. Headwinds, sore legs, long roads that just don’t end.
No shortcuts. No easy days. Just getting up and going again.

All to raise $1 million for mental health.

That’s what Lenny Deacon is out there doing. He is currently in Kalbarri, in WA.

He’s riding for his best mate, Dippa — taken too soon — and turning that loss into something that might help someone else hang on a bit longer.
Lenny said he will keep on cycling, until the donations reach his target 💪

If that doesn’t hit you, I don’t know what will.

Today we proudly recognise one of our most courageous mental health advocates, Lenny Deacon

A big thank you to The West Australian and The Geraldton Guardian for shining a spotlight on Lenny’s inspiring journey this week. 💜

For those who haven’t heard yet, Lenny, a former sheep shearer is currently travelling around Australia on his recumbent trike to raise $1 million for Breakthrough.

Lenny is continuing his journey for as long as it takes to reach his $1 million goal. Driven by the loss of his best mate, Dippa, he’s determined to make a real difference for mental health across the country.

Tackling Mental Health Head On

Our vision is to create a life free from mental illness.

Mental illness is going to be the biggest health challenge in our life time. It consumes lives, ruins lives and takes lives.

Mind and brain research is the only way to know what action needs to be taken to create a life free from mental illness.

Right now, one in five Australians has a mental health issue, and more people between 15-44 years are dying from su***de than any other cause.
