Supporting mental health in rural communities

In a Good Place Program

The In a Good Place program gives small remote, rural and regional communities across Australia, particularly farming communities, 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, social / emotional health and wellbeing.

The program supports community-based approaches that:

  • are preventative or responsive in nature;
  • focus on reducing mental health stigma and promote open discussions about mental health;
  • encourage, support and enable people to seek help; and
  • reduce social isolation by fostering social participation, inclusion and connection.

There are now two streams within the program:

  • Community wellbeing for projects focussing on mental health and wellbeing within remote, rural, and regional communities;
  • Farmers and farming communities for projects specifically supporting the mental health and wellbeing of farmers and the communities they live in.

 

NOTE: Farming communities refers to remote, rural, and regional communities with a high dependency on agriculture and related industries.
