Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation

Australia's first and only dedicated mental health research foundation.

21/01/2026

This holiday season, we pause to acknowledge the first responders who continue to show up for our communities, often carrying the impact of trauma long after their shift ends.

Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation is funding critical research to better support emergency service workers through the 'Protecting Emergency Responders with Evidence-Based Interventions' program, known as PEREI.

Co-funded with Movember and led by Reg Nixon Professor in Pyschology at Flinders University PEREI is a world first program focused on building resilience and reducing the impact of trauma. More than 600 participants across SAPOL, the Metropolitan Fire Service and the Country Fire Service have already taken part.

As communities recover from recent severe weather events this summer, we are reminded why continued investment in evidence based mental health research matters, and why those who protect us deserve the very best support in return.

To support early registrations, we are offering a 20 % discount for this course. Catering is provided, and participants will receive a three-year Mental Health First Aid certification upon completion.

What do you do for your mental health? 💜

Caring for the way your mind works is just as important as caring for your body. Making time for healthy habits, whether that is yoga, cooking, reading or exercise, can help create space to reset and recharge.
Wise and timely words from one of South Australia’s leading voices in mental health, Taimi Allan, South Australian Mental Health Commissioner.
