A rural and urban implementation trial of cognitive remediation therapy for people who have experienced psychosis and are receiving treatment from public mental health services.

This project evaluated Human Nature, a trauma-informed, person-centred program delivering free, flexible mental health support in nature-based and other non-clinical settings. Using routine data from 106 rural adolescents, the study examined participant engagement and changes in psychological wellbeing, life satisfaction and functioning.

The Man Walk is a nation-wide community-led initiative where men meet regularly for walks to support mental health, reduce isolation, and build peer connection in a stigma-free environment. RHRI partnered with The Man Walk to evaluate the program’s impact, strengthening the evidence base for its benefits on men’s wellbeing and social connection.

This project evaluates whether structured nature walking groups can improve wellbeing and recovery for people with severe and persistent mental health conditions, while identifying the factors that support or hinder implementation in mental health services. Findings will inform practical guidelines for scaling nature-based mental health programs.

This project examined whether an online counselling program improved outcomes for rural Australians and explored participants’ views of the support they received and its effects on their lives.
