The Australian Government and the Alcohol and Drug Foundation have announced a Local Drug Action Team (LDAT) for the Southern Grampians to prevent and minimise alcohol and other drug-related harm in the community.

The Live4Life Southern Grampians LDAT is a partnership between school and community and will support young people in the area, particularly around positive mental health and alcohol use.

An initiative to tackle the region’s high suicide rates will see 20 community members trained in youth mental health first aid across the region.

The Live4Life program is growing leaps and bounds in the Glenelg region with Portlander Cathryn Walder playing a big part in its development. "It’s really important that we’re raising awareness and educating people on mental health and working hard to reduce the stigma around it”
