Education

HER Centre Australia is dedicated to changing awareness and understanding around how women are uniquely impacted by mental illness and mental ill health so that everyone can play a part in changing the way illnesses and issues are managed and treated. At HER Centre Australia, we do this through our online short course in Women's Mental Health, through our 'in person' conferences, public lectures, and targeted/invited presentations to community and mental health organisations and groups, as well as through our scientific publications and engagement with the media.

Mental health awareness has come a long way in recent years, but there is still a long way to go to break down stigma and to increase understanding about the causes, manifestations, and treatment of mental illness. This is even more so with women's mental health, which until recently, was not even recognised as its own specialty area of psychiatry and mental health delivery.

We can all play a part in bringing about change and we hope that we can support you in that journey by providing the most accurate, up to date, and evidence-based information available.
