Manna Institute

Manna Institute is part of an initial 3-year strategy to improve mental health and wellbeing in rural, regional and remote Australia.

Manna Institute is a virtual institute that brings together leading mental health researchers from seven universities in the Regional Universities Network (RUN) – Charles Sturt University, Central Queensland University, Federation University, Southern Cross University, the University of Southern Queensland, the University of Sunshine Coast and lead institution the University of New England. Experts collaborate with industry and community partners (including Everymind, Lifeline Direct and the ANU Centre for Mental Health Research) to tailor solutions specifically to their regions and regional Australia more broadly.
