Annual

Report 2013
Madness is a real world for the
many thousands of people who
are right now living within it
and dying within it. It never
apologises. Sometimes it is a
shadow, ever present, without
regard for the sun. Sometimes
it is a well of dark water with
no bottom, or a levitation
device to the stars. It takes
away the rational minds of
ordinary people. It takes our
hearts, knowing death so well.
This world was once my pair
of horns, my pair of wings.
Now we regard each other
with caution and, yes, healthy
respect. Both bruised but very
much alive . . . We the people
who inhabit this world are
in every other respect just like
you. We want to live well.

SANE Australia.
Helping all Australians
affected by mental illness
lead a better life.
Anxiety. Depression.
Bipolar disorder.
Psychotic conditions
such as schizophrenia.
Personality disorders
and other conditions.
Almost half of all
Australians experience
a mental health problem
at some time in life.
And every one of these
has family, friends,
fellow students or
work colleagues who
are affected by their
condition.
Mental illness isnt
something that happens
to other people.
Its something that
affects all of us at some
time, in some way.
Its about
people like us.
Mental illness does not
discriminate. It affects one in ve
of us every year, regardless of
age, background, career, culture,
or economic status.
Mental health problems are
treatable, yet two out of three
of us who experience them do
not access the treatment and
support we need.
Why? Lack of recognition of
symptoms, concerns about stigma
and discrimination, confusion
about where to go or what to do,
inadequate or nonexistent mental
health services and policies
all of these contribute to the
unnecessary and distressing cost
of mental illness to Australian
lives today.
Through all of its activities,
SANE Australia is passionately
committed to addressing these
problems through Campaigns,
Research, Education, Support and
Training.
We refer to these ve areas of our
work as the CREST.

One million lives
2013 has been a good year for
SANE Australia.
Building on SANEs 27 years of outstanding work, we made a conscious
decision to invest in broadening the base of the organisation so that we
can have a bigger impact in the lives of even more Australians affected
by mental illness.
We established a new management structure, recruited in new staff and
introduced new reporting processes. We grew the board and established
Governance and Risk and Audit committees. We established an ofce
in Sydney to give better support to our national effort and formulated
guiding values and behaviours to shepherd us through a new growth
phase.
At the same time, we increased our impact
by helping more people than ever before.
Over the last twelve months, we touched the lives of over 600,000
Australians an increase of 50% on the previous twelve months. While
this was primarily through increased trafc to our website we also grew
programs, most noticeably our Mindful Employer program, along with
welcoming new people to our Speakers program. Unfortunately, we did
not have the resources to meet the increased demand for our HelpLine
services. We maintained our longstanding effort to reduce stigma in
media coverage of mental illness and suicide.
We also drew on SANEs strong standing
across the mental health sector to call for
a ten year vision for Australia to lead the
world in mental health services, programs
and outcomes.
Importantly, the need for an inspiring and long term vision for the
sector is gathering support in the sector.
We were active on the policy front through a board seat on the Mental
Health Council of Australia, membership of the Steering Committee
of the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance, and membership of the
Expert Reference Group on Mental Health Reform. The ERG formulated
10 year targets including for suicide prevention and stigma reduction
which are now up for consideration by the Coalition of Australian
Governments. We also attended President Obamas National Mental
Health Summit at the White House.
We produced major reports on aged care, stigma reduction, and suicide
prevention for mental health professionals.
A key highlight was securing multi-year funding to build online forums
which will provide a new sense of community connection and support
for people affected by mental illness, including their carers and families.
We were reminded that when you open up about your own experience
of mental illness, others do the same. We met people from all walks
of life, including business and community leaders, who welcomed the
opportunity to share their own story and kindly lend their support to
our goal to touch one million lives by 2018.
In the coming year we will continue to grow our programs with a big
focus on our Online Community Forums. We will undertake a major
strategic review to examine our options to signicantly increase our
impact. We will make a concerted effort to ensure the wider community
is aware of SANEs great work. We will work with other organisations
to secure support for a targeted national stigma reduction campaign
an area that cries out for greater focus and commitment.
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who have
beneted from SANEs work over the last year, we extend our heartfelt
thanks to our speakers, staff, patrons, and board.
We also thank our many individual
supporters those who have been such loyal
friends of SANE and those we welcomed on
board for the rst time.
We say a big thank you to Sue Woodward who stepped down from the
SANE board after fteen years of wonderful service.
We are both personally committed to making 2014 a big year in the life
of SANE Australia. We would love for you to continue on the journey
with us so that, together, we can do something special in the lives of all
Australians affected by mental illness.

Policy
SANE Australia advocates at a national level for
improved mental health and support services for
all those affected by mental illness, including
family and other carers.
In the past year, SANE has gained a voice on the Mental Health Council
of Australia Board, the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance of the
National Mental Health Commission, and the COAG Expert Reference
Group on mental health national targets and indicators. SANE is also a
partner in the Landmark Report project on mental health reform.
We continue to further our reach, recognition, and impact through the
development of strategic relationships, collaborations and the provision
of additional services to people affected by mental illness.
Our achievements in 20122013
f Our involvement in the mental health sector and our collaboration
with other organisations on initiatives such as the Mentally
Healthy Workplace Alliance, the NRL State of Mind Campaign,
Expert Reference Group, and CONGO (Council of Non-Government
Organisations), helped improve and raise awareness of people
affected by mental illness.
f We continued to strengthen our relationship with the Australian
Government, and federal and state parliamentarians across the
major political parties.
SANE Australias advocacy and other work is only
possible through the generosity of our supporters.
With the generosity and continued support of the Australian community,
our plans for growth will make a dramatic impact on the lives of people
affected by mental illness.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We established the SANE Foundation Fund, which acknowledges
major individual gifts and donors who have made a nancial
contribution of $5,000 or more during the nancial year. The
fund is overseen by an Advisory Committee chaired by Mr Jack
OConnell AO.
f We sourced funding from supporters to cover operational costs of
the SANE Helpline and the Call Back Service.
f We secured funding through Trusts and Foundations to develop
a training program on mental health for frontline workers in the
mental health sector.
f We received a grant from the Australian Government of
$1.3 million over three years to establish and operate online forums
for people affected by mental illness.

Media Centre
The SANE Media Centre promotes and supports
the accurate and responsible portrayal of mental
illness and suicide within the Australian media.
The SANE Media Centre provides a one-stop service of
information, expert comment, advice and referral for journalists
reporting on mental illness and suicide, and provides advice and
support to organisations within the mental health sector on how to
deal with the media.
We also run the StigmaWatch program, which voices community
feedback about representations in the media that stigmatise mental
illness or inadvertently promote self-harm and suicide. StigmaWatch
does not aim to stop media reports on these issues, but encourages
more accurate and responsible reporting, which helps break down
stigma and increases the understanding of mental illness.
Our Media Centre is supported by the Australian Government as part of
the Mindframe National Media Initiative. We also work in partnership
with many other organisations and bodies, including Australias most
popular health websites, ninemsn health and Better Health Channel, to
supply information on mental health and related topics.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We got people talking about mental health: over 1,000 media
stories featured SANE Australia content this year.
f We kept the media and mental health sectors informed through
our special eBulletins.
f We conducted media training workshops in Hobart and Brisbane
with senior staff from over 20 mental health organisations.
f We played a major role in launching the National Mental Health
Commissions rst Report Card. We engaged with indigenous and
culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) media to help reduce
stigma in these communities and progress this initiative. We also
contributed regularly to the Community Radio Suicide Prevention
Project on national indigenous and CALD radio stations.
f StigmaWatch was an important community voice this year with
214 StigmaWatch reports and 28 Good News reports.
f Two major reports were published: A Life Without Stigma, a
landmark report that examines the impact stigma has on the
lives of people living with a mental illness, and StigmaWatch
Tackling Stigma Against Mental Illness and Suicide, illustrating how
our work helps change community attitudes about mental illness.
Both reports were commissioned from Barbara Hocking OAM, the
former Executive Director of SANE Australia.
f A new edition of the SANE Guide to Reducing Stigma was developed,
with new sections on self-stigma, electronic media and industry
codes and guidelines.

Speakers
SANE Speakers are a team of people affected by
mental illness who talk candidly in public forums
about their personal experience, and provide
unique, authentic input to our campaigning and
other work.
Direct contact with people living with and managing mental illness is
one of the most powerful ways of reducing stigma and promoting the
inclusion of people with a mental illness in our community.
Trained and supported by SANE Australia, our speakers talk to the media
and employers, contribute to advocacy, research, and new information
resources to break down the barriers of misunderstanding.
The SANE Speakers program also helps people with a mental illness to
connect with others, forming relationships with peers, which helps to
offset some of the social isolation frequently experienced by people with
a mental illness. Donations and other support help us to recruit, train
and support more speakers, as we continue to work towards a better life
for all people affected by mental Illness.
Our achievements in 20122013
f Our SANE Speakers played a major role in developing and taking
part in our Say no to stigma! video campaign, which helps people
understand the experience of living with a mental illness.
f SANE Speakers were an integral part of the SANE Mindful
Employer Program, going to workplaces and talking at workshops
and events so that others can understand what its like living and
working with a mental illness.
f SANE Speakers helped interview and recruit new colleagues
using their networks and skills to reach out to those who will also
be an inspiration to others.

Research
Bulletins
SANE Australia conducts action research to help
people affected by mental illness today.
We research the whole-of-life impact of mental
illness, and what needs to be done to reduce this.
Regular SANE Research Bulletins investigate the experience
and perspectives of people affected by mental illness, making
recommendations for action based on these responses.
Issues covered include housing, employment, stigma and social isolation
among others. The Research Bulletins are used in advocacy by SANE
Australia and other organisations, as well as being used to promote
these issues through the media.
SANE also conducts research in partnership with other organisations,
universities, and government departments. A recent major project was
the People Living with Psychotic Illness study, to which SANE contributed
and also produced a response document, identifying changes in policy
and practice from the study.
In 2012-2013, SANE Research Bulletins focused on two important issues:
Parenting when you have a mental illness, and contact with emergency
services when someone has a mental illness. As with all of the Bulletins,
the information and recommendations in these were based on the real-
life experience of people living with a mental illness, their family and
other carers.
Aged Care
Project
The SANE Aged Care Project investigates the needs
of people over the age of 50 with a mental illness,
and evaluates how these needs are currently
being met their mental and physical health care,
accommodation and social support.
Little is known about the long-term impact of living with a mental
illness, and yet Australias population is rapidly ageing, with baby
boomers forming a prominent bulge. We are starting to see an
increasing number of older adults living with mental illness, creating
challenges for housing, community support programs, and public mental
health services.
Funded by a philanthropic grant from the Ian Rollo Currie Estate
Foundation, the SANE Aged Care Project is a perfect example of the
research we do. The results of this project will continue to inform best
practice recommendations for which SANE Australia and others will
advocate and promote.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We conducted a comprehensive literature review, online surveys,
and numerous interviews with older people living with a mental
illness, as well as health professionals looking after them, to gain a
thorough understanding of their experiences.
f We collated and analysed the data and information received into an
extensive report, which included recommendations for future work
in this area.
f A presentation on the project was given at the national Mental
Health Services Conference in 2013.
f A project report, Growing Older, Staying Well Mental Health Care for
Older Australians, was distributed to over 600 mental health and
aged care organisations around Australia.
Sometimes I feel quite scared about

Information Resources
SANE Australias information resources are
specially created and designed for people like us
ordinary Australians who want information that
will help and empower them to lead a better life.
Every year, our Communications + Online division works hard on
these resources in close consultation with people living with mental
illness, carers, and clinical experts in relevant elds. We explain
evidence-based treatments in simple, everyday language that everyone
can understand, with all resources available in both digital and print
formats. Our resources have also been translated and published in many
other countries.
Resources available from our website at sane.org include factsheets,
guides, podcasts, guidelines, videos, eNewsletters, social media
updates, and our magazine, SANE News.
We are committed to developing our resources to ensure that everyone
those with a mental illness, carers, or working with someone who is
affected gets the information they need through the easiest and most
effective channels. This approach increases the number of Australians
helped by our services.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We developed and launched our Say no to stigma! YouTube
campaign, which provides people affected by mental illness, their
families and other carers with a platform to explain in their own
words the impact of stigma on their lives. It helps spreads the word
that this prejudice is unacceptable in Australia today.
f We developed Talking Anxiety, a new app for iPad and iPhone
that provides advice from people with the condition on how to
manage anxiety symptoms (with partners, RealTime Health).
Medical Observer, a magazine for GPs, praised the app for its use of
inspirational videos of people who have battled and overcome an
anxiety disorder.
f We promoted understanding of anxiety, suicide prevention, and
mindfulness through our magazine SANE News, available in print
and online. SANE News also celebrated the contribution of Barbara
Hocking OAM, our former Executive Director, who retired in 2012.
f We launched SANE Express, our eNewsletter, which makes contact
with over 10,000 Australians every month, to update them on our
work and mental health issues.
f We engaged strongly with people living with a mental illness
and mental health organisations through social media. Our
Twitter followers doubled in 2013 to over 4,500, while Facebook
followers increased 25% to more than 6,000.
f We began work on developing online forums for people affected
by a mental illness, as well as for carers, to communicate with and
provide support to each other, with funding from the Australian
Government.
When mental illness strikes,
knowledge is power. SANE is
recognised as a leader in providing
this knowledge, especially what
people can do to help themselves -
drawing on the wisdom of experience
of people affected by mental illness.

Helpline
The SANE Helpline is an Australia-wide free service
that provides information, support, and referral
to appropriate services that help those who dont
know where to go, what to do, or how to cope
with what they, a family member, or friend is
experiencing. The Helpline is often the first port of
call for people feeling incredibly overwhelmed.
The SANE Helpline has three channels:
The Helpline started in 1998 as a Freecall phone service, but as
technology has evolved, so too have the ways people seek information
and support. As a response to those needs, we have also grown and
diversied to offer these highly sought-after online services. This allows
us to continue to reach the increasing numbers of people worried about
mental illness in themselves or others, including a growing proportion of
contacts concerned with suicide.
Understanding and responding to these individuals and their needs in
the right way is a highly complex and sensitive job. As such, we employ
qualied mental health professionals as Advisors to answer enquiries.
They also receive extensive in-house training, especially in helping
anyone who may be at risk.
Donations to the Helpline covered the training and employment of our
Advisors, and the work that goes into building solid relationships with
other organisations and services. Together, we continue to grow our
service and increase the number of those we help to ensure that those in
crisis are not ignored.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We answered over 10,000 calls from Australians seeking support
through mental health information, advice, and referral.
f We responded to over 2,000 Support Link contacts a new
service that provides referral for people who have been in contact
with emergency services.
f We launched our Helpline Chat service in 2012 to respond to the
growing number of Australians who seek help online and want to
communicate directly with an Advisor in this way.
f To ensure we reach SANEs goal of making a difference to more
lives than ever before, we welcomed new Advisors Emily, Elise and
Rebekah to the Helpline. We now have a total of eight Advisors in
the team.
f To improve our professionalism and the quality of the help we
provide to those in need, we implemented a new supervision model
that ensures people and their individual needs are at the heart of
everything we do.
The sooner people get support and
treatment, the less impact mental illness
has on them and their families.

Mindful Employer Program
SANE Australias Mindful Employer is an eLearning
and face-to-face workplace mental health training
program that provides answers to important
questions. What are the signs of a mental health
problem? What do you do if concerned about a
colleague or employee? And how do you manage
reasonable workplace adjustments?
With the right knowledge and advice, a business can avoid potential
productivity losses, while also providing understanding and support
two things that can make all the difference when someone is affected by
a mental illness.
Within the program, people have access to general information
on mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, and other conditions. They gain the skills to learn to
understand and recognise the early warning signs of mental illness, and
support someone at work who is affected or is caring for someone else
who is.
Our Mindful Employer face-to-face workshops are facilitated by
experienced trainers who have a corporate background and extensive
experience working in mental health. Our SANE Speakers, a team of
people affected by mental illness, are also supported to talk candidly
about their personal experience and provide unique, authentic input to
everyone involved.
We now have over 30 clients and organisations from small businesses
to large multinational banking corporations that are part of our
Mindful Employer Program. This commitment is not only helping people
deal with mental illness, but also helping us to improve attitudes and
behaviours surrounding mental health still prevalent in Australia today.
Our achievements in 20122013
f 2,200 employees and 33 clients signed up to the Mindful Employer
Program.
f The Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) reported that our
Mindful Employer Program has been the most in-demand workshop
from their members this year. Our partnership with AHRI continues
to grow as more organisations seek this training.
f We recruited three new contract facilitators to support the increase
of workshops that have been contracted across the country.
f We delivered face-to-face and eLearning workshops in a variety of
State and Australian Government Departments with outstanding
results.
f We redeveloped and redesigned the Mindful Employer website to
attract more clients and customers.
f We recruited a new Client Relationship Manager, Naomi Lehrer,
in November 2012, and a new Mindful Employer Manager, Eliza
Oakley, in March 2013, to support the growth of the program,
following Charmaine Smiths promotion to Director of Operations.
We are very grateful to all of

Employer Program at work,

Suicide Prevention Project
SANE Australias mental illness, bereavement
and suicide prevention project works to improve
services and support for family and friends of
people with a mental illness who have died by
suicide or who are missing.
We do this through dissemination of easily-accessible information,
development of resources, and education or training. SANE has also
been examining the important role that all mental health services can
play in suicide prevention.
People affected by mental illness or bereaved by suicide are at much
higher risk of ending their own lives. Thats why suicide prevention is
integral to all of SANE Australias activities. We recognise the value in
learning from other peoples experiences of suicide, and are guided by
those experiences to help others in similar circumstances.
The Suicide Prevention Project is supported by the Australian
Government, Department of Health.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We delivered 14 mental illness and bereavement workshops to
mental health organisations in Australia, training a total of 172
people.
f We formed a partnership with the Australian Council of
Community Services in Brisbane, and trained their facilitators to
deliver the mental illness and bereavement workshop. They have
now trained an additional 111 people.
f We developed the Suicide Prevention and Recovery Guide to support
mental health workers who are helping people who may be
experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviours. This resource has been
disseminated to over 3,000 mental health workers.
f We formed a partnership with the University of New England to
conduct joint research into the experiences of people who have
attempted suicide.
f We completed a scoping study into the suicide prevention activities
being undertaken by mental health services in Australia.

Mind + Body Project
SANE Australias Mind + Body Project recognises
that a healthier life includes both mental and
physical wellness.
Physical health is especially important for people living with a mental
illness, as research shows they are at a higher risk of conditions such
as high blood pressure, insomnia, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
This is mainly due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that contributes
to these conditions, such as not exercising and craving sweet foods,
alcohol and cigarettes.
Every year, we promote common sense steps to improve the health of
the whole person. As well as campaigning for improved treatments and
support, we have developed a range of training resources in this area.
We work in partnership with other organisations such as Neami
National a community-based organisation that provides rehabilitation
and recovery support, such as housing, to people with a mental illness
to promote and distribute our resources nationally, and make physical
wellness a part of day-to-day practice in mental health services.
Our achievements in 20122013
f We formed a new partnership with the Australian Government,
which led to the development and launch of three new Quit
Smoking resources available at quitnow.gov.au that are
targeted at people living with a mental illness.
f We completed the Mind + Body: Rehabilitation and Support Development
Project Final Report, which documents a three-year project that we
worked on with Neami National. This involved researching and then
developing guidelines that encourage mental health organisations
to rethink how they relate to people living with a mental illness,
and educate how to inspire them to lead healthier lives.
f We commenced a three-year partnership with Neami National to
develop and deliver Peer Support Health Coaching. This program
teams up someone who has a mental illness with a trained peer
health coach who helps them to achieve a physical health goal of
their choice. Were proud to say this is the rst project of its kind
in Australia.
Catriona Bastian,
Mind + Body Project Coordinator
When we talk about mental illness,
most people tend to think were trying
to treat the mind alone. But focusing on
physical health can have an enormous
impact on mental wellness.

For the past 27 years, SANE Australia has been a
leader in getting mental health on the public agenda.
We were an international pioneer in the reduction of
stigma and have always taken a national approach
to our work. We span the full spectrum of mental
health issues and we put people before their
diagnosis. With our deep-seated commitment to
working directly with people affected by mental
illness, SANE Australia brings a unique combination
of history, skills and commitment.
We want to create a better life for all Australians affected by mental illness.
Please join us on the journey.
