In March of 2021, CIMVHR welcomed long-time international partner Phoenix Australia as the newest Global Affiliate. Phoenix Australia and CIMVHR first began working together at the 2018 Australian Invictus Games, where the two organizations created the Five Eyes Mental Health Research and Innovation Collaboration (Five Eyes MHRIC). This group of thought leaders lead the way on collaborating with one another to advance research priorities of interest to their governments. The first meeting in Australia lead to the Five-Eyes Ministers adding the group’s recommendations into their outcomes report from their face-to-face meeting. In addition, the Five-Eyes MHRIC published their finding in The International Review of Psychiatry, Treatment of military-related post-traumatic stress disorder: challenges, innovations, and the way forward
