MENTAL HEALTH

 We are hosting TWO seperate ANNUAL Mental Health Forums (ONE FOR YOUTH, & ONE FOR THE GENERAL COMMUNITY) starting with a Community Mental Health Forum in SEPTEMBER 2011.  Please go to UPCOMING EVENTS PAGE to find out more details. 

 

 Some of the worthy Moonah Rotary club projects:

 

 ** Australian Rotary Health - look at separate web page on the  Tasmanian Rotary website for more details on this.  

** BOWELSCAN (A low cost – statewide health initiative to detect early signs of Bowel Cancer for the over 40′s age group in our community.  

** Live Free Tassie (A live in -   youth program to help addicted youth that want to beat their addictions.)  We provided two separate donations to this wonderful organisation.  The second and bigger of the two donations was partly financially supported by a district matching grant.  We gave nearly $2,ooo to enable the supply of new GYM EQUIPMENT to re-equip them after a devastating fire destroyed their previous gym & all their equipment on the property. 

** The Beacon Foundation. (See the District/Tasmanian website for more info)
