Chairman’s Report cure might eventually be found.

With time running out, Jacinda’s family continues to raise funds for the next project knowing that research offers the best hope for their much-loved family member, as well as others suffering the same debilitating disease.

Research Snippets Almost 70 research projects are currently being managed and funded through ARH. These cover a wide range of health issues in both the mental health and general health areas.

Spring has arrived and with it we hope the spread of covid will begin to ease allowing us to return to a more normal life. The last 18 months has been a difficult time, but I am pleased to report that at ARH all research projects have continued with only minor disruptions. It was decided not to fund new mental health grants this year, but with an improved financial situation I am pleased to report that grants will be made available in the coming year.

During recent months ARH has continued to review existing policies and develop plans that will take our organisation forward. A new Business Plan has been developed, there has been a refocus of the mental health research program and fundraising activities are being reviewed.

ARH Research Project Recently I had the opportunity to talk with the parent of Jacinda, a young woman suffering from gastroparesis. This is a debilitating condition that results in pain, nausea, malnutrition, and in many cases leads to death. Her condition has deteriorated to the point where she receives nutrients intravenously for twelve to fourteen hours per day and is constantly under threat of blood infections which often end in intensive care in hospital. She is one of 125,000 Australians suffering this condition.

The Rotary Club of Devonport sponsored a research project through the ARH Funding Partner Program that found useful dietary information to help sufferers. The club is now sponsoring a second research project with researcher Daphne Foong, who is experimenting with stem cells in the hope that a

Some examples are as follows: Jason Palazzolo is designing a new therapy using nanotechnology to remove thrombotic blood clots. He is also working on the prevention of side effects associated with current treatments.

Dr Amy Finlay-Jones is testing the effectiveness of a recently developed 4-week online program teaching self-compassion skills for young people with a chronic disease.

Dr Mark Larsen is testing whether different types of text messages; simple, therapeutic, or personal from a friend or family member, have an impact on hospital presentations, self-harm, or suicide.

Prof Tracey Wade is testing the effectiveness of the online program ‘Media Smart Targeted’ in reducing the onset of eating disorders in both males and females in the 13 to 25 age group.

ARH 40th Anniversary This year is the 40th anniversary of ARH. From the inspirational idea of one man, Ian Scott, a highly respected medical research organisation has developed that is now the largest nongovernment funder of mental health research in Australia.

As a result of covid, the celebration planned for Mornington has been postponed till 2022 and the Parramatta function is scheduled for 7th February, 2022. Whenever these events take place, they will present a great opportunity to reflect on the achievements of our very successful Rotary program.

ARH UPDATE

Chairman’s Report

Continued from cover

Change of Research Focus For a number of years ARH mental health research has focused on ‘Mental Health Disorders’ directed mainly at the under 25 age group. Recently our medical advisors suggested that ARH focus its research on the 0-12 year olds. Studies show that 50% of those who develop mental illness in adult life develop symptoms by age 14. By concentrating research on this younger group, it is thought that it may be possible to prevent or limit the onset of mental illness.

Symposium To launch this new research focus, a Symposium will be held in late March 2022 bringing together eminent clinicians and researchers from around Australia who are working with the very young in the mental health area.

The Symposium will enable ARH to launch its new funding program to support research designed to improve the mental health of Australian children 0-12 years. It will present advice regarding the areas of

research where ARH funding can most effectively be employed and also provide a forum in which Australia researchers can discuss current innovative research relevant to the new ARH funding program.

This will be the eleventh Symposium ARH has conducted and I thank Professor Michael Sawyer OAM for arranging this latest event.

Lift the Lid Walks It is very pleasing to see a number of Clubs now planning Lift the Lid Walks. This is an excellent way to promote the work of ARH, enjoy a fun outing, and to raise funds for mental health research. Last report indicated several walks are being planned but covid restrictions may see some deferred until next year. Director Mark Lean has accepted the role of National Chairman of the Lift the Lid Walks Committee and most Districts have appointed a convenor.

If assistance is required when planning a LTL Walk, please contact Mark or Kara

Geyer at the Media kara@themediahut.com.au.

Further information on the walks can be found here: https://www.liftthelidwalk.com.au/ Appreciation Recently the ARH office moved to the suburb of Norwest, in Sydney. Staff members who were not in lockdown worked tirelessly over many days to expedite the move on time and within covid rules.

This year with covid restrictions and lockdowns continually changing it has been difficult to plan and conduct events.

Nevertheless, it has been a successful year for ARH and much has been achieved thanks to continued support from Rotarians, District Governors, District Committees, the Research Committee and our staff capably lead by CEO Joy Gillett.

ARH is in a strong position to play a significant role in improving the health of all Australians.

ARH Funded Researchers Attending Rotary Dinners Australian Rotary Health and the Rotary Club of South Launceston hosted an ARH Research Dinner in May inviting two scholars from our Funding Partner PhD program, Jason Palazzolo and Laura Grattidge.

On the night, Jason (sponsored by Rotary District 9830) presented his research into new treatments for stroke patients, while Laura (sponsored by Rotary Club of Deloraine) spoke about her research into suicide prevention in Tasmania.

The Rotary Club of Mornington hosted ARH researcher Liam Ryan and Indigenous Health Scholar Molly King at one of their club meetings. Both Liam and Molly's scholarships are partially funded by the club.

They are pictured here with Ted Moore, Ken Bilham and Ross Kilborn. Ted and Ken were members of the club when Ian Scott first proposed that the club raise funds for research into SIDS which led to ARH.

SPRING 2021

Australian Rotary Health Introduces New Research Focus In July, Australian Rotary Health was pleased to announce we will be narrowing our research focus to the Mental Health of Young Australians aged 0-12.

The new research area will be introduced at a symposium titled, ‘Healthy Children, Bright Futures: Improving the Mental Health of 0-12 Year Olds’. The symposium will take place in Sydney in late March next year.

Australian Rotary Health Chair Kevin Shadbolt OAM said the symposium will bring together eminent researchers from around Australia working in the field of children’s mental health.

“This will provide a forum for researchers to advise ARH on ways of improving the mental health of Australian children. So this is a really interesting project that I think we will all gain a great deal from,” Kevin said.

Following the symposium, ARH will open applications for Australian researchers to apply for research funding to increase knowledge in this important area.

Medical Adviser to the ARH Board of Directors Professor Michael Sawyer OAM says there has been a strong focus on research and services aimed at improving the mental health of adolescents and young adults in Australia. However, less attention has been paid to the problems faced by 012 year olds.

“This is a serious omission because each year approximately 14% of Australian children experience mental disorders (that is, approximately 500,000 children in this age range suffer from a mental disorder).

Furthermore mental disorders have a major adverse effect on the well-being of children and their families, and on the education outcomes of children. There is also evidence that approximately 50% of mental disorders across all age groups have their onset by the age of 14 years. The time between birth and 12 years is a very important developmental period where successes and failures can cascade down

the years”, Professor Sawyer said.

“Studies have shown that the overall prevalence of mental disorders experienced by 0-12 year olds has not changed during the past 20 years. As such, we need to find new ways of helping children and their families overcome this terrible problem.

That’s what this conference is initiating.

The symposium will provide a forum where researchers can describe their current research. They will also provide advice

about how Rotary’s funding can be most effectively used to find new ways to help children with mental disorders and their families”, Professor Sawyer said.

“ARH is limited to the amount of research we can undertake by the amount of funds available. We thank the Rotary Clubs and the public for the generous support they give us and hope that that will continue,” Kevin said.

New Focus Welcomed By Researchers “There’s a real problem in Australia with mental health services available for youth in the teen years – there’s very few services there, it’s a real problem and something needs to be done about that. However, I think if we’re thinking in terms of the long-term, we’re better to put our resources earlier on in life. You get so much more bang for your buck in terms of treatment outcomes when you go early. For example, the area I’ve worked at the longest is kids with externalising behaviour problems – tantrums, aggression, non-compliance and so on – if you treat that in the kind of 2-8 year old kids you get really really impressive outcomes.

You really can shift these kids and make a massive difference in their lives. You can also do it in teenagers, but boy is it harder! If you’ve got a big 15 year old who is throwing tantrums and is aggressive and non-compliant, it’s so much harder to get treatment effects. So we’ve got to start spending more of the mental health dollar early on where we know we can get really really good change. So I’m really happy to hear that about ARH. I’m just a big fan of ARH and I think that’s fantastic.” - Prof Mark Dadds “I think it’s incredibly important. When we look at how different types of mental health issues develop, you see a whole range of different risk factors and markers that start all the way from, well before birth, especially in that early development period. And I think that the field has really started to get around the idea that if we can help people at a younger age, maybe we can actually prevent the onset of significant mental health issues, or at least reduce the severity if they do evolve. I think that’s a really good thing, so focussing efforts there is a great idea.” - Dr David Hallford “This is a great decision by Australian Rotary Health because we really know that mental disorders can be prevented when we use evidence-based interventions, and we can prevent them from very early in life. There’s been a number of really key findings that show that, when you think about anxiety, we can actually change the trajectory of children’s outcomes by targeting these early warning signs in the preschool years for instance. And if we can do that, then it offsets that whole series, the cascade of negative experiences and negative consequences that can occur. Because once a child has a mental disorder in childhood, we know that makes them more vulnerable to more severe and more mental disorders when they get to adolescents. If their anxiety hasn’t been treated in childhood, the chance of them developing depression as well, and substance abuse in adolescents is much higher.

We know those things make people more vulnerable to further mental disorders and unemployment etc in adulthood. So, I think it’s a great strategy, and I think it’s how we can probably get the best bang for our buck, so to speak, by targeting those early years with preventable efforts.” - Prof Viviana Wuthrich

Over $40k Donated to MS Research In May, the Rotary Passport Club of Sylvania Waters presented a cheque for $42,000 to Australian Rotary Health. This money was raised at a gala dinner and auction and will partially fund a Funding Partner PhD Scholarship project in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We are incredibly grateful for the support!

Melbourne Celtic Festival Supports ARH A cheque of $8,000 was presented to Australian Rotary Health at the Rotary District 9800 Conference. This donation was raised at the inaugural Melbourne Celtic Festival, hosted by Rotary Melbourne South in March.

The 12-hour live music festival was streamed worldwide - a wonderful promotional opportunity for ARH! ARH Director DGE Amanda Wendt with Rotary Club of Melbourne South President Pam Dittmer.

Program News Rural Nursing Scholarship Spotlight: Renee Dukakis Sponsored by: Rotary Club of Sale Rural Nursing Scholarship recipient Renee Dukakis was placed within the Central Gippsland Health’s Emergency Department (ED) for her first rotation in her graduate nursing year.

Renee Dukakis

“The ED department is the perfect mix of organised chaos. I enjoy the work and learning the practical routine of the things I studied for three years. I have had practice of the jobs you aren’t always exposed to as a student, such as inserting an indwelling catheter (IDC) and a Nasogastric tube (NGT). Accomplishing these things have brought me joy and satisfaction.

The team has been so supportive as I continue to build what I recognise is a foundational knowledge. From the staff that have been nursing 1 year ahead of me, to the NUM and my graduate coordinator, everyone has offered to further my learning whenever appropriate. I feel I am valued for the nurse I am today while also being encouraged to better myself wherever I can.

I have completed my Intravenous Cannulation (IVC) package and am undertaking my Central Venous Access Device (CVAD) package. I have spent majority of my down time studying Electrocardiograms (ECG’s). At university this was a topic I constantly battled and felt it was for nurses more academic than myself. Now, those squiggly lines are beginning to make sense. I still have so much to learn in this area, but it is so rewarding to begin to comprehend something that was so overwhelming 3 months ago.

More than anything it has been an honour to be a support person for the patients under my care. To recognise their fear and hopefully relieve some of it to the best of my ability. Most people come into ED as a last resort and to be with them in their time of need is not something I take lightly.

I greatly appreciate the support of the Australia Rotary Health as I undertake this great opportunity.”

SPRING 2021

Mental Health Research Findings Understanding and Preventing Suicide Clusters in Young People New research funded by Australian Rotary Health (ARH) reveals that there may be a critical period of 90 days to prevent suicide clusters in young people, after someone they know has ended their life.

PhD Scholarship recipient Dr Nicole Hill was awarded funding by ARH in 2017-2020, to conduct a nationwide study of suicide risk factors and cluster prevention in Australian youth.

Dr Nicole Hill

The project examined 3,365 suicides in young people that occurred in Australia over a 10-year period (2006-2015), looking at risk factors such as history of mentalill health, drug use, financial problems, abuse and neglect, self-harm or suicide attempt, and exposure to the suicide of a relative or friend.

Here are some of the main findings: • Young people who have been exposed or have knowledge of a friend or relatives suicide have a three-fold greater risk of suicide and suicide attempt themselves.

• The first 90 days following a suicide presents a critical window of opportunity for preventing further suicides in young people.

• Young people who have been exposed to suicide and are later involved in a suicide cluster did not have pre-existing vulnerabilities (e.g., depression). So we need to think more broadly about prevention.

•

Surveillance systems that are developed to identify suicide clusters should record relationships between the deceased and those exposed to suicide to effectively respond and prevent suicide clusters.

• Suicide clusters can be prevented and there are multiple recommendations for this.

“Suicide clusters are an immense tragedy, but they can be prevented. It starts with knowing how best to identify emerging clusters, and equipping communities with the tools and evidence-base to effectively respond to them,” Nicole said.

ARH Grant Recipient Acknowledged Australian Rotary Health offers its congratulations to Mental Health Grant recipient, Dr Amy Finlay-Jones, who earlier this year received the Julie Bishop Award.

This prestigious award provides a $50,000 grant to a female early or mid-career researcher over two years, together with mentoring support from Ms Bishop.

Amy’s current research project aims to improve the mental health of young Australians with chronic illness using online self-compassion training. She is due to complete the project this year.

Where Are They Now? Past Australian Rotary Health PhD Scholarship recipient Dr Bevan Main has been working on a study in Washington DC that may provide hope to athletes. This research suggests that learning and memory deficits after repeated head impacts do not automatically mean a future with an untreatable neurodegenerative disease.

Bevan received a Funding Partner PhD Scholarship from Australian Rotary Health, the Rotary Club of Mornington, and the University of Melbourne between 2012-2015 for his project: The role of Type-1 Interferons in Parkison's disease.

Individuals Fundraising for ARH

Lynne Walks for Suicide Prevention Lynne from the Rotary Club of Rockingham set off to walk the full 1,005km Bibbulmun Track from AprilJune this year, to raise money for mental health research.

Earlier this year Rotary District 9510 held its annual District Conference and Lyn Jones organised a fundraiser to promote Australian Rotary Health, raising over $7,000! Part of this fundraising initiative included a wine wall and silent auction.

"For several months I visited businesses and wineries asking for donations. Everything was donated

and I had tremendous support, in fact I was overwhelmed by what I received. It was an enjoyable 2 months preparation which I treated as social outings by inviting a few friends to come and visit wineries where we did wine and food tasting as well as promoting Rotary and ARH. I’m now following up with the wineries and businesses to see if they would like to continue to support ARH," Lyn said.

After a member of her Rotary Club lost her son to suicide, Lynne wanted to take action to prevent other families from experiencing the devastation her friend went through.

The walking track started from Kalamunda in the Perth Hills, all the way down to Albany in the South West.

Since then, Lynne has raised $4,635 of her $5,000 fundraising target. Her fundraising page is still open to donate here: https://www.mycause.com.au/ p/246064/suicide-prevention
