The
Inspire Foundation is committed to ensuring that our programs
are based on evidence and best practice. Inspire's research and
policy team is dedicated to:
- contributing to the evidence base about what works in
improving young people's mental health and
wellbeing
- building sustainable partnerships with academic and other
organisations to grow the evidence base
- systematically measuring program outcomes against program
objectives and goals
- continually improving program delivery with feedback and
active participation from young people and staff who work with
young people
- ensuring that all website information is evidence-based
or current best practise
- contributing to policy debate.
Inspire has partnered with leading academic institutions
to build the evidence base that informs Inspire's work, illustrates
the important role its programs play in promoting the mental health
and wellbeing of young people, and contribute to future policy
debates that shape mental health reform.
Our current research partnerships include the Brain &
Mind Research Institute - University of Sydney, ORYGEN Youth Health
Research Centre - University of Melbourne, Cultural and Indigenous
Research Centre Australia - Queensland University of Technology,
Swinburne University of Technology - Whitlam Institute, University
