BUSINESSMAN and investor James Packer, jointly with The Packer Family Foundation, has gifted $7 million to mental health research at UNSW Sydney, with the establishment of the James Packer Chair in Mood Disorders.
This donation will also set up Mindgardens, the first research centre to focus exclusively on disorders that involve the brain, emotions, nervous system and thinking processes.
"It is no secret that I have struggled with mental health problems in the past," confessed Packer.
"I am a passionate advocate of finding ways to improve mental health outcomes, and I am hopeful that my contribution towards this research will generate positive outcomes in this field, & in so doing significantly improve the lives of people battling mental health issues everywhere."
