Grant Recipient of the Month:

Mental Health Council of Tasmania – ‘Climbing Fences’

The Mental Health Council of Tasmania is the peak body representing the interests of non-government mental health, carer and service provider organisations.  The Council provides a public voice for people affected by mental illness and the community organisations which work with them.

In 2008, the TCF Board awarded a grant of $50 730 to the Council to develop a short book with, and for, young people who have a parent with a mental illness.  The book, called ‘Climbing Fences’, is to give a voice to those young people which otherwise can sometime be overlooked.  The publication includes personal stories from young people, information on various types of mental illness, and how to access additional support.
