Mental Health + Exercise Research Group (MHEX)

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.

MHEX conducts research, and supports researchers, who focus 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
