ST. JOHN’S, NL – The provincial government has added an additional $10,000 in funding to this year’s community addictions prevention and mental health promotions grants.
In all, 44 community groups and organization in the province will receive roughly $150,000.
“The program is designed to encourage individuals, groups and organizations, as well as communities, to step up and take a greater role in promoting positive mental health,” Health and Community Services Minister John Haggie said in the House of Assembly April 19.
“Our partners already do such important advocacy and development work and through this program, we are pleased to support their efforts.”
Successful proposals focused on priority areas such as support for young families, substance use prevention, suicide prevention and supporting positive mental well-being, Haggie said.
