We did it! SANE secures 3 year funding for forums and guided recovery

Hi SANE Community

It is my absolute pleasure and privilege to be able to share with you that SANE has successfully won sustainable funding to continue to deliver these forums and expand our guided recovery program to open to ALL postcode regions in Australia from 1 July.

I can’t even begin to describe the effort over the past four years that has gone into this and the enormous team effort behind the scenes, there have been times in the last four years where I have been genuinely worried about whether we would succeed and felt the huge weight of responsibility to you all to make sure your community would continue.

I am so, so thrilled to share that we did it - and this week Minister Mark Butler MP and Assistant Minister Emma McBride announced $27.3 million in funding to continue and expand nationally SANE’s digital mental health support for people and families with complex mental health needs.

That’s fantastic news to hear about @RachSANECEO ! Sane has been such a valuable support to me over the years and I’m so glad to see it continue for several more years to come. I look forward to seeing how this funding improves the mental health for all of the community in the future!

@RachSANECEO

Wow!! This is fantastic news, and congratulations to SANE and those who gave their time and the tremendous effort it would have taken to obtain this much-needed support and funding, as well as to all the community members who support such a valuable mental health and well-being resource.

I will do my best to be a valued member of the SANE community. Thank you for providing a safe space and helping and supporting people like me.

I know that when I am in a position where my mental health is stable and I am far enough into my healing journey, I want to get involved and volunteer my time and lived experience to help and support others and help change the stigma around mental health...
