New directions
As you are aware the Mental Illness and Depression programs will be continued to the end of 2008. The Board has decided to make the major focus for the next phase of the program.
''The mental well being of our young and Adolescent Youth''.
Roving ARHRF ''Ambassadors''
- now known as ARH ''Ambassadors''
To give further opportunity to spread the word about the Fund a number of Ambassadors will be appointed. They in no way will intrude on the activities of the Directors, the Regional Coordinators, but will work with them to be available for speaking engagements or special activities where representative of the committee would be unable to attend.
Constant updates of the ARHRF programs and projects will enable them to be in a position to continue supporting the ARHRF.
Further information on this will be made available when the ''Position Description'' has been finalised.
A sincere thank you
The Board would like to sincerely thank all those that give freely of their time to support our many programs and projects.
The ARH is now becoming recognised across all areas of research, and has the support of Federal, State, and Territory government.
The effectiveness of the fund is very much in the hands of all groups in any way associated with us.

The effectiveness of the fund is due to the feedback and suggestions from you, and your club. Most of the recent projects came out of individual people with ideas and passions about specific health areas.
All such suggestions are considered by the Board.
