Ways to Donate

Keeping A Community Connected - Our Fundraiser

After almost losing our son several times to suicide, experiencing family trauma as participants within the mental health system and becoming exhausted and disillusioned by being underpaid to manage an amazing team set up to fail by a government’s outdated and arbitrary service models and funding, I launched A Path To Follow (APTF).

APTF is not government funded and while we await the outcome of our Charity Application status we rely solely on limited community business partnerships, community donations, low fees and the good will and belief of one community focused bank.

We need your support to ensure those young people and families, who cannot afford to pay full fee, can still be supported in a meaningful way, to ensure we can authentically walk beside them as peers and advocates and share care with our reputable service system partners to provide safe, non-stigmatised, respectful and best practice services.

Will you join as A Path To Follower and help us to keep our young people and families connected to themselves, each other and community?

How Your Donations Help -

Subsidising Program Costs

Your contributions directly support our program costs, allowing us to offer services at reduced or no cost to young people and families who are unable to afford them.

This includes services such as peer support, art therapy, family advocacy, and sporting programs.

Expanding Outreach

With your support, we can expand our outreach efforts and reach individuals who may not be aware of the mental health services available to them.

Through awareness campaigns, educational initiatives, and community partnerships, we can ensure that no one feels alone or isolated in their mental health journey.

Enhancing Resources

Donations enable us to enhance our resources, such as therapeutic materials, equipment, and training for our dedicated team members.

Intentional Peer Support is a well evidenced form of mental health peer support, now becoming widely accepted in Victoria and across Australia for its positive outcomes in mental health.

By investing in this training for our workforce peers and/or related resources, we can continuously improve the quality and effectiveness of our programs and services.

Why Donate

Accessible Support

Your donations go directly towards ensuring that individuals in need can access the mental health services they require.

By removing financial barriers, we can reach a wider audience and provide assistance to those who would otherwise go without professional support.

Empower Others

Your contribution enables us to recruit and train compassionate peer support mentors, advocate for families in need, establish sporting peer programs, and provide professional art therapy sessions.

Together, we can empower others to overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives.

Strengthen Communities

When mental health support is accessible to all, it strengthens communities as a whole.

By donating, you actively contribute to building a society that prioritises mental well-being and nurtures compassion and understanding for those facing mental health challenges.

Thank you for your support

Together, let’s create a society where mental health support is accessible to all. Your donations enable us to break down barriers and provide essential services to those who need them the most.

Join us in our mission to make a difference and create a path of understanding, resilience, and hope for individuals facing mental health challenges. Donate today and help us build a brighter future for mental health support.
