MIND
The GaP
Mental Illness in Nowra District: Goals and Prevention (MIND the GaP) is a research-led initiative providing training, education and consulting services for mental health in the regional community of the Shoalhaven. The service is focused on improving mental health services, suicide prevention, and trauma recovery, especially for, but not limited to, vulnerable, younger, and First Nations people. Developed in collaboration with academic and community partners, the project translates complex research into accessible, engaging spatial outcomes. The work demonstrates Edmiston Jones’ ability to operate at the intersection of design, evidence and advocacy — using architecture as a tool to address social gaps and create inspiring spaces for practitioners and educators informing future policy and practice.
