Help Young See Themselves In Positive WayEastern Region MP PETER HALL has encouraged community groups to apply for grants of up to $5000 to promote healthy lifestyle choices and a positive body image in young people. By The Nationals - 20th March 2007 - Back to News Mr Hall said the Positive Body Image Grants aimed to build self esteem and confidence and are available for groups who work with young people, especially those aged 12-16 years.
"Research has shown that young people who get positive messages about their health and appearance are less likely become depressed about their looks or develop eating disorders," he said.
Local community-based not-for-profit organisations can apply for the grants as stand alone entities, or can make joint applications with secondary schools and councils.
Mr Hall said that suitable projects could include guest speakers, discussion forums, practical skills and learning focusing on sport, recreation, art and culture; healthy eating and physical activity advice; community events and exhibitions; peer group support, such as group discussions and forums; and the production of promotional and educational material.
Applications for Positive Body Image Grants 2007 must be submitted online at www.grants.dvc.gov.au by Monday 16 April 2007. Guidelines are available from Mr Hall’s office: Telephone: 5174 7066. For further information applicants are encouraged to contact the Grants Information Line on 1300 366 356.
