What we do
Our purpose is to advocate for children, youth and young people with complex mental health issues together with their families, parents, carers and kin, to create inclusive, responsive, and better-quality health and education systems. We aim to achieve this by:
- Advocating for the rights, needs, and lived experience of children and young people experiencing mental illness throughout Queensland.
- Assisting families to better navigate service systems by providing regularly updated, relevant & helpful information and resources on mental health including supports, services, and education.
- Proposing new innovative models of service with the aim to strengthen the capacity of children and young people, together with their families and carers, to manage complex mental health episodes.
- Highlighting and promoting the voice of children and young people together with their families and carers in the co-design and delivery of better mental health and human services in Queensland.
- Engaging a diverse range of children, young people, and their families, to work in close consultation with relevant government and industry stakeholders to develop a Queensland Children’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
- Partnering with educational institutions to deliver research of value and influence, in the child and youth mental health space.
