SabrinasReach4Life is pleased to announce that we have been successful in receiving a grant from the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal FRRR , Supporting Mental Health in rural communities.
The In a Good Place program gives small remote, rural and regional communities across Australia the opportunity to access funds for a broad range of community-driven projects, services, activities or initiatives, which clearly and directly focus on strengthening mental health and wellbeing of vulnerable community members who are at risk of, or are experiencing, mental health issues and aims to support a range of approaches that are preventative or responsive in nature, reduce social isolation by increasing social participation and connectedness, and reduce stigma surrounding mental health by encouraging open discussion and supporting self-help-seeking.
The program is a partnership with Ms Pauline Neil a Principal Master Instructor of Mental Health First Aid from Mental Health Training (MH Training) who will be delivering the Heads Up program to increase the capacity and confidence of local communities to better understand what a developing mental health problem or crisis looks like and develop the skills and confidence to offer and apply help offering behaviours to reduce the incidences of suicide in Darwin, Jabiru, Litchfield, Katherine regions in the Northern Territory. Thankyou for your support.
