headspace team enters triathlon fundraiser
A team of mental health professionals and staff from BMRI headspace Central Sydney and headspace Campbelltown is competing in a triathlon to raise funds for youth mental health.
Six teams of three people made up of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapist, GPs, researchers and administrators, will swim, ride and run around the Sydney Opera House on Sunday 29 April.
The Brain and Mind Research Institute is the lead agency for headspace Central Sydney and headspace Campbelltown.
A close collaboration of BMRI researchers with mental health practitioners and patients enables innovative studies into youth mental health and provides patients with rapid access to new developments in the treatment of mental health.
