Suicide Prevention
People affected by some mental illnesses have a far greater risk of suicide than the general population. Suicide prevention is integral to all of SANE’s work.

Mind and body
SANE Australia’s Mind and Body Initiative recognises that a healthier life includes both mental and physical wellness, and promotes research to promote improved health for the whole person.

Helpline
Analysis of thousands of Helpline calls allows SANE to identify the issues that matter most to people affected mental illness ad their families.

StigmaWatch
SANE produces the annual StigmaWatch report, a summary on how the media has fared in undertaking balanced reporting of mental illness and suicide.
