THE ANTONY KIDMAN FOUNDATION is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving mental health in Australia by supporting The KIDMAN CENTRE formerly the Health Psychology Unit of the University of Technology Sydney.

THE ANTONY KIDMAN FOUNDATION continues Antony's vision to improve the state of youth mental illness in Australia through funding programs working with young people who have significant difficulties with depression, anxiety, anger or high levels of stress. A range of programs have been developed. All of these focus on providing coping strategies to help participants feel in greater control so that they adopt a more adaptive approach to positively change attitudes about their lives and aiding integration into the community.
Our core beliefs are that mental illness prevented or treated when it first occurs in young people benefits the individual, their family and friends as well as the whole Australian community.
A big part of the road to improving treatment rates and outcomes is changing the attitudes to mental illness. Changing the stigma the individual and their family feel and community attitudes will go along way to a mentally healthier Australia.
