A suicide prevention project is to be set up in Bridgend using nearly one million pounds of lottery funding.
The area has seen a spate of teenage suicides, although police have refused to draw links between the deaths.
Bro Morgannwg NHS Trust will run the Let's Talk project to improve awareness of mental health issues across the Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot areas. It will work with statutory and voluntary agencies, including the children and young people's partnerships.
The funding comes from the Big Lottery Fund's Mental Health Matters programme, which is supporting a range of projects across Wales.
The Eating Disorders Association is among those to receive a grant in the latest round of funding, with £789,215 to set up a support project covering the whole country.
Barbara Wilding, chair of the Mental Health Matters committee, said: "One in four of us is likely to experience mental health problems at some point during our lives so it is important to recognise the issue."
