It is time to get involved and the Centre for Emotional Health needs all the help and support it can get. The centre is a self- funded organisation that seeks to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities who have suffered with anxiety disorders.

Organisations with a focus on kids, older people or the community at large may have a particular interest in CEH sponsorship. By sponsoring the Centre for Emotional Health, you will have an enormously positive impact on many people’s lives, at the same time as expanding and enhancing the goodwill you already enjoy with your target audience.

Mental Health problems are the leading cause of death for Australians under 45 and are also the greatest cause of disability with one in ten Australians suffering a mental health disorder during their life. Anxiety, like depression, is one of the most common emotional health problems and affects people across their lifespan.

Huge costs to the community come through increased use of medical services, disrupted social contacts, increased family disruption and reduced academic and career advancements. The work we do at the Centre for Emotional Health is all about improving people’s quality of life.

By helping us with our funding we can train professionals to help children by implementing our programs in schools or clinics throughout Australia, and we can improve our research to further understand anxiety and keep Australia at the forefront of treatments.

It only takes a small donation to make a big difference to those in need. Your generosity helps create awareness, diagnosis and treatments of Anxiety in children and all life stages by communicating and educating the community and health care professionals.

Just a small donation can make a huge difference...

Leaving a Bequest

You or a family member may wish to make a bequest and specify how you would like it to be used. Bequests are gratefully received and allow the Centre to plan for the future.

Fundraising

If you are participating in an event in your community, whether it is the City to Surf or an Australia Day BBQ with friends, you can raise money for your efforts. Donations can be made via our Centre for Emotional Health Donations page.

With your help the Centre can provide programs for change, promoting healthier and happier families, people and communities. Anxiety and depression disorders stop people from living the life they want to, and the Centre for Emotional Health can change this. We are not asking for a lot, just the opportunity to give someone the chance to live their life to the full!
