Our Supporters
SuperFriend is passionate about making a positive difference to the mental health and wellbeing of Australians who belong to industry super funds, and their families, friends and fellow workers.
Our purpose is to help people flourish within their work and personal lives and not be debilitated unnecessarily by poor mental health.
We understand the significant impact that mental health problems can have on a person, their family, friends, colleagues and others around them, and SuperFriend really wants to help.
Mental health, like physical health, needs to be part of our daily “taking care of ourselves”. Yet many of us do not know what to do, or how to do this. SuperFriend believes that if we can improve understanding about mental health and wellbeing through education, research, activities and initiatives, people’s awareness about their own mental health and that of others, will also improve. Furthermore, this will most likely lead to more people seeking professional help when needed, greater utilisation of support resources and less stigmatisation for those experiencing mental health problems. We also know that if we can improve people’s coping mechanisms, they will be more resilient and more likely to flourish. It is widely accepted that the incidence of mental illness and suicide are underreported, and yet is already recognised as the third biggest health problem in Australia.
SuperFriend knows we have a lot of work to do; we also know that change in communities, including workplace communities, can happen when people become united, involved, engaged and proactive.
SuperFriend is largely dependent on the commitment, support and work of many people across many sectors – Industry Funds, Group Life Insurers, Mental Health Sector, and thousands of work places. If you would like to become involved in making a positive difference in people’s lives, please contact us, as we would love to have you as part of SuperFriend.
