Suicide Prevention Community Grants Open Today

Grants to support locally-led activities and projects for suicide prevention open today.

Open to individuals, community groups and non-government organisations, the grants are valued from $500 through to $10,000 to assist in awareness raising for suicide and suicide prevention to:

  • Build inclusive communities and strengthen community resilience;
  • Address stigma and discrimination; and
  • Raise awareness of effective suicide-prevention practices.

In the Northern Territory the co-ordination of mental health support during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency has been positive, however grant programs such as this ensure the ongoing wellbeing and support of vulnerable Territorians as the community adjusts to the new normal.

The Suicide Prevention Community Grants offer an opportunity for grass-roots initiatives that support vulnerable Territorians in their times of need and to raise awareness.

Applications for the grants open today and close on Friday 29 May 2020.
