Request a Program
Bring Mental-Health Education and Support Closer to Your Community
Tell BAF about your audience, location and program needs so the team can understand whether an appropriate program or partnership may be possible.
Submitting a request does not guarantee program availability, dates, funding or delivery.
Who can request
Organizations BAF is prepared to consider
Requests come from groups already trusted by the people they serve. If your organization is not listed, you can still get in touch and describe the need.
Schools & educational institutions
Secondary schools, colleges and universities seeking mental-health literacy sessions for students or staff.
Faith communities
Congregations and faith-based groups looking to talk about mental health with care and without shame.
Youth organizations
Youth clubs, mentoring schemes and student-led groups working with young people.
Community organizations
Local associations, cooperatives and neighbourhood networks serving underserved communities.
Healthcare & social-service organizations
Clinics, community health teams and social-service providers exploring navigation or education support.
Local leaders & community networks
Community leaders convening groups who would benefit from mental-health education or referral guidance.
Program areas
Tell BAF which area fits your community
Not every focus area has an active deliverable program in every region. Choosing an area helps the team understand the need — it is not a confirmation of availability.
- Community Mental Health Outreach
- Psychiatric Care Access or Care Navigation
- Mental Health Science, Technology & Innovation
- Youth Mental Wellness & Anti-Stigma Advocacy
- General Program Inquiry
- Unsure — Help Me Identify the Right Option
What BAF needs to know
Four things that make a request easy to review
Who the program is for
The audience, approximate age range and how many people you expect to take part.
Where it would happen
Country, city or region, the venue or delivery setting, and whether in person, virtual or hybrid suits you.
What the community needs
A short description of the concern or gap you are seeing, in your own words.
Practical considerations
Accessibility needs, safeguarding considerations, timing, and any organizations already involved.

Share only what is needed for BAF to understand the request. Fields marked with an asterisk are required.
Availability
BAF is a growing organization. Programs are delivered where staff, funding, partners and safeguarding arrangements make responsible delivery possible. A request may lead to a program, a referral, a partnership conversation, or an honest explanation of why BAF cannot help at this time.
Safeguarding
Work with young people and people in distress follows BAF's safeguarding commitments. This page is not a route to clinical care. If someone needs support now, visit Get Help.
