If you spend a morning outside, sitting with a cup of coffee in the midst of a gorgeous garden, you’ll realize the importance of plants for pollinators.
Bees, butterflies, moths and flower flies flit from one splash of color to the next. Their timeless work has kept life on our planet thriving for millennia. But as we continue to urbanize, some have wondered if there’s a way to help offset the dramatic landscape changes brought on by things like buildings, concrete and asphalt.
A pilot program will be developed for young women struggling with mental health issues.
UniSA researchers have won $100,000 to fund key mental health projects to help young women, veterans, and stroke patients, who often struggle with depression.
The Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation (Breakthrough) has partnered with UniSA to investigate mental health triggers in these areas and look at the most effective treatments.
Professor Nicole Moulding, Dr Michele Jarldorn and Dr Jane Andrew will use the funds to develop a pilot mental health peer support program for young women at risk.
Helping veterans who are struggling with mental health issues will be the focus of another project involving Dr Dannielle Post, Professor Gaynor Parfitt, Dr Katherine Baldock and Dr Kate Gunn.
