ICMA's Program Excellence Award for Programs for the Disadvantaged, established in memory of Carolyn Keane, recognizes a local government that has enhanced the quality of life for the disadvantaged, including homeless citizens and people with AIDS. In 2002, ICMA presented one of two awards in the 50,000-and-under population category to Prospect, South Australia, and City Manager Michael Llewellyn-Smith for the city's mental health program. Developed in response to a high occurrence of mental health disorders among Australians, limited resources, and difficulty in accessing health care, the program offers sessions and workshops on specific mental health issues, health promotion activities, and social and recreational activities.
