Wellbeing and resilience

Wellbeing and resilience are intrinsically linked to protection against the development of mental illness, and recovery from mental health issues. Higher degrees of wellbeing are associated with lower hospitalisation rates, improved recovery from surgery and illness, and improved quality of life.

Flinders University is conducting research to improve wellbeing and resilience across the country, testing innovative ways to build mental wellbeing across general and target population groups.
