This document is a grant application submitted by a student for the "In a Good Place Grant Program 2019," funded by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR). The application, on behalf of Synapse Inc., proposes a mental health promotional program in the North Coast of NSW, Australia, targeting the 25-64 age group. The project aims to address community needs, including psychological, psychosocial, and dietary aspects, with an emphasis on health literacy, nutritional awareness, and social causes. The program outlines educational sessions, psychotherapeutic treatments, and community awareness campaigns, involving various healthcare professionals and non-governmental organizations. The application details the community's mental health challenges, including high rates of depression and anxiety, and proposes interventions to reduce social isolation, increase participation, and improve help-seeking behaviors. The grant of $20,000 is requested to cover costs associated with educational training, mental health interventions, and program implementation from January 2020 to March 2020. The project aligns with FRRR's objectives by focusing on improving community health and social wellbeing. The application also discusses the importance of health literacy and patient-centered care in improving mental health outcomes.
