Rural Alive & Well Inc. (RAW)

RAW - Rural Alive & Well Tasmania


Rural Alive & Well is committed to building healthy and resilient rural communities in Tasmania, to reduce the prevalence of suicide in ages 14yrs and above. We are both on the ground with farmers and  in local communities running prevention & awareness programs

 

With mental health challenges being faced by nearly 1 in 5 Australians, it's now more than ever that we need to be building healthy and resilient communities.  The heart behind starting RAW was to reduce suicide rates in farmers, however as our culture and societies have grown, our emphasis at RAW draws more focus towards prevention, and making positive mental health and wellbeing practical and tangible. 

 

If we can help build healthy foundations within these communities and ‘debunk’ the stigma, stereotype and fears around mental health, then we can have a major impact on the statistics that show that on average, 9.1 people lose their life to suicide each day.

 

RAW has existed for over 13 years, and it's because of the local community and their abundant generosity that we have been able to grow into the organisation that we are today. 

 

Our critical areas that we operate in are:

  • on the ground on farms and in homes with people who need one on one support 
  • delivering culture-changing mental health and wellbeing support programs across heavy industry sectors 
  • prevention and mental health training with businesses and community
