Exercise is beneficial for people across multiple areas of health and wellbeing, but how to support individuals to be active, improve health outcomes and build exercise opportunities within health and community care pathways is still being established. The MHEX group conducts research, and supports researchers, whose focus is on individuals living with, or at risk of, mental ill health. Our work includes: ~ Exploration of the role of exercise to support physical and mental health ~ Establishing evidence-based practices for the promotion and delivery of physical activity programs for mental health ~ Developing innovative strategies to support and sustain health outcomes of individuals and communities We conduct projects across a range of populations, presentations and alongside a variety of community partners – including health services, support organisations, Universities, and funding agencies. Led by clinically-aligned exercise and health researchers at the University of Western Australia (UWA; A/Prof Bonnie Furzer) and University of New South Wales (UNSW; Dr Kemi Wright), with the aim to ensure that all knowledge is created in partnership with community and for the benefit of communities.
