Lift the Lid on Mental Illness is Australian Rotary Health’s National annual fundraising day for mental health research. 
You can support this wonderful initiative by making a donation on World Mental Health during  October at one of the many businesses in Alexandra with collection tubs.
Each year approximately 1-in-5 Australians will experience a mental illness and in order to help future generations of young Australians, we need to look ahead through research and find out how we can prevent this type of illness occurring.
Lift the Lid on Mental Illness aims to educate all Australians that no matter what 'hat' you wear, we are all affected by mental illness. We hope that Lift the Lid will promote the need for more research into mental health, improve social awareness of mental health issues and stop Australians from keeping mental illness 'under their hats'.
Lift the Lid on Mental Illness is an initiative of Australian Rotary Health, one of the largest funding bodies of mental illness research in Australia. 100% of proceeds from Lift the Lid will go towards research into finding preventions, treatments and cures for mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and Alzheimer's.
