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.
Spanning our expertise in psychology, 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.
