The following lists some of the projects in which MHIRC is engaged as at June 2008, as well as containing some archived resources.

THE SHED - MHIRC at UWS, in partnership with the Holy Family Centre, has established a drop-in centre for men - "The Shed" - at Mt Druitt. This important and much needed project has been funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing under the National Suicide Prevention Strategy.

The Shed provides non-judgemental support and assistance to men. Particularly concerned with men in their 20's, 30's and 40's with a focus on Indigenous men and other local sub-populations. The goal of the service is to help build on and enhance the resilience of young adult males experiencing crises, and who may be vulnerable to self-harm and suicide.

For further information on The Shed, please contact (02) 9628 5613.
