Rural Adversity Mental Health Program

About

The Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) is a key initiative of the University of Newcastle Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health (CRRMH), in partnership with each of the rural NSW Local Health Districts. The program is funded by the NSW Ministry of Health. RAMHP was first established in 2007 as the Drought Mental Health Assistance Package. From 2010 the program aimed to more broadly address the mental health impacts of rural adversity in NSW, and became known as RAMHP. RAMHP works to address the short and long-term mental health needs of rural and remote communities in NSW affected by sudden and prolonged adverse conditions.
