Need immediate help? Back You is not a crisis or emergency service. If you require immediate assistance or are at risk of harm, please seek appropriate emergency or crisis support rather than waiting for the outcome of this application.
The Back You Grant Application
The Back You grant is designed to remove financial barriers to mental health and wellbeing support. Our process is simple and transparent: you apply for funding for a specific service or resource, our community-led board reviews the request, and we provide direct support where it can make the most impact. We prioritize Fleurieu Peninsula residents and focus on early intervention and collective care.
