Through Well Thanks Foundation, we invest in programs that strengthen mental health, build resilience and equip communities with practical skills to support one another.

Well Thanks Foundation (formerly Hanna Foundation) recognises that there are many communities in Australia who are vulnerable and lack the resources to tap into educational and training programs, so our work is centred around
Community Engagement and the delivery of Education and Training.

 Money raised by the Foundation funds the delivery of mental health programs into communities that encourage conversation, recognition and positive action both for sufferers of mental health conditions, and those around them.

In 2025, our funding supported two impactful initiatives across Tasmania and Victoria, reaching both rural communities and young people in regional schools.

  • Building Community Resilience in Rural Tasmania

    In 2025, Kentish Regional Clinic Inc received $20,000 to deliver a series of CORES Suicide Prevention Training and Self-Care and Mental Wellbeing Workshops across regional and rural Tasmania.

    These workshops focus on developing practical, evidence-based skills to strengthen personal wellbeing and community resilience. Delivered across multiple East Coast and West Coast locations—including Rosebery, Queenstown, Zeehan, Bicheno, Swansea, St Helens, and St Mary’s—the program is designed to reach communities where access to mental health training is often limited.

    It is anticipated that between 100 and 200 participants will gain the skills to recognise suicide risk, respond appropriately, and support both themselves and others. Initial sessions are planned to be delivered across both coasts before December 2025.

  • Supporting Young People in Regional Victoria

    Also funded in 2025, Lifeline Loddon Mallee Ltd received $20,000 to deliver ten safeTALK training workshops across schools in the Loddon Mallee region of Victoria.

    The safeTALK program supports young people—and those who care for and support them—to build awareness around suicide prevention, improve mental health knowledge, practise self-care, and strengthen peer support skills. The workshops aim to create safer, more informed school communities where early intervention and open conversations are encouraged.

    Approximately 150 participants are expected to benefit from the training. Delivery timing will align with school availability across the region.
