We’re stoked to announce we're proudly supporting the Black Dog Institute. At Five Eights Clothing Co, mental health is a core pillar of our movement and we're proud to back it with real action. Helping fund life-changing programs that build stronger, more connected communities. Together with our crew and yours, we’re backing the mission to break the stigma and make sure no one walks alone.

We are about creating a world where mental illness is treated with the same level of concern, immediacy and seriousness as physical illness.

1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental health condition within the year. And 60% of people don't seek help for mental health conditions.

We aim to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness by:

• translating our ground-breaking research into real-world clinical care
• delivering evidence-based education programs for health professionals, schools and workplaces
• developing real-time digital tools, so people can manage depression, anxiety and stress at their own pace.

Our unique translational approach allows us to quickly turn our world-class scientific findings into clinical services, educational programs and e-health products that improve the lives of people with mental illness.

On average, there is a 17 year gap for research evidence to reach clinical practice. With research, development, education and implementation teams working closely side-by-side, Black Dog Institute substantially closes this research to practice gap.

We work directly in all parts of the community as well as guiding the development of new and improved policies. We place focus on those with specific mental health needs like young people, Indigenous communities, men, and high-risk workforces.
