Grants

This is a professional development grant specifically for people providing mental health and addiction support who are employed as support workers, including peer support workers, in a publicly funded non-government organisation (NGO).

The grant will cover costs of taking part in a learning activity (course or training programme), to develop professional knowledge and skills that enhance applicants’ support work role or career. This may include increasing knowledge, understanding and application of Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles; or building cultural responsiveness; development of knowledge and skills described in the Real Skills of Keeping It Real | Kia Pono Te Tika, or a combination of these elements.

Applications for the support worker professional development grant will open on 12 October.
