About us

The Stronger Futures Centre is a collaboration between the Intergenerational Health group at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and the Aboriginal Communities and Families Health Research Alliance (ACRA) at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.

We are committed to improving social and emotional wellbeing and resilience in families and communities disproportionately impacted by the intergenerational trauma and family violence

Our longer-term goal is to contribute to the reversal of the current upward trends in rates of suicide, self-harm and mental health disorder in children and young people.

The Stronger Futures Centre is co-led by the Intergenerational Health group at Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, and the Aboriginal Communities and Families Health Research Alliance (ACRA) at the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute.
