Abstract: Trevor Hazell has worked at the Hunter Institute of Mental Health for 15 years and led the organisation as its Director for the past ten. He has worked to expand the Institute’s focus to include the application of health promotion strategies to the field of mental health. He led its early work in exploring ways in which professionals from a range of sectors can play a role in building resilience in individuals and communities leading to the evolution of the Institute’s Mindframe and Response Ability programs. In recent years he has supported the growth of the Institute’s work to include the development of models to better understand mental health promotion and the prevention of mental ill-health and the development of a national program to address the impact of major depression on those who love or care for a person with depression (the Partners in Depression Program).
