A desperate need for mental health support in Ararat and Stawell is behind an inspiring new initiative to help vulnerable people in the community.
The One Red Tree Resource Centre is a not-for-profit initiative that aims to provide high quality mental health services and training, based in Ararat.
The One Red Tree Resource Centre is the brainchild of local clinical psychologist Carly McKinnis and education leader Tammie Meehan, and will initially place a trained psychologist in five local schools for two days a week.
