Healthy Minds HMRI Research Program

The Healthy Minds HMRI Research Program's Community Healthy Ageing Initiative (CHAI) aims to increase health literacy, improve health self-efficacy and support mid-late life adults from diverse groups to optimise their personal healthy ageing journey. CHAI is envisaged as a network of local partnerships with diverse community groups that will co-design and co-deliver a program of health information and customised lifestyle interventions that are acceptable to and accessible by that community.

This will be achieved by establishing community-based and community-led hubs (CHAI-Hub) – local, accessible, open-door, drop-in facilities that provide contextually-customised, evidence-based health information to people from priority populations who may otherwise not have access to this information. CHAI-Hubs will be operated by trained community peers (using a train-the-trainer model) supported by a professional force, including nursing, psychology, lifestyle, activity and arts practitioners, local and online services, and relevant peak body partners.
