Ancient Greek: vision, sight and ‘a wide view of’
The Órama Institute is a multi-disciplinary research institute for mental health and wellbeing at Flinders University, with a focus on research and discovery related to brain and mind and their relationship to the body.
The world’s mental health is a global concern. With up to 450 million people experiencing mental health issues at any one time, we need real-world solutions for what could be the defining social health crisis of the 21st century.
The Órama Institute is committed to research and discovery that will create those solutions.
Almost one in two Australian adults experience mental illness in their lifetime. Many of us have personally grappled with a mental health condition, or have extended support to colleagues, friends or family.
The personal and professional cost to individuals from all walks of life, and the social and economic costs to our society, are significant.
Recognising this, Flinders University has established the Órama Institute, uniquely bringing together our University’s existing research strengths with those of our external partners.
Spanning our expertise in psychiatry, psychology, allied health, engineering, social science, public health and education. Órama represents a unique and comprehensive blend of research capabilities that utilise our health infrastructure extending from Adelaide and regional South Australia.
Together with our partners and supporters, the Órama Institute will develop new solutions and deliver real-world outcomes to revolutionise how we understand, treat and one day, hopefully, prevent mental illness.
Flinders Órama Institute has partnered with the SAHMRI Wellbeing and Resilience Centre to deliver a new program called the Be Well Plan; a program that helps you craft a unique evidence based strategy matched to your needs and your unique circumstances, so you can stay feeling well and grounded.
The Be Well Plan is a 5-session (10 hour) program that teaches you to find and master easy-to-use skills to build your mental health, wellbeing and resilience.
