Overview
Australian Rotary Health
Australian Rotary Health is a multi-district project for Rotary in Australian, with over 1,150 Rotary Clubs and 38,000 Rotarians supporting it. Australian Rotary Health has channelled more than $24 million into Australian research projects over its 29 year history. Australian Rotary health will allocate around $3 million in medical research grants and scholarships by the end of 2010. Since its inception, Australian Rotary Health’s emphasis has been on community health with its current emphasis on Mental Health.
Australian Rotary Health & Mental Health
It is estimated that mental health problems and mental illness will affect more than 20 per cent of the adult population in their lifetime and between 10-15 per cent of young people in any one year. Many will recover spontaneously and, of the remainder, the vast majority can be treated and will recover fully. However, a smaller number will experience longer periods of distress and disability.
Myths, misunderstanding, negative attitudes and stereotypes surround the issue of mental illness. The prevalence and severity of mental illness imposes sever distress on individuals and their carers and is a major financial burden on families and the community.
