Empowering young people to thrive beyond the impacts of family mental illness

Our Purpose

We empower young people to thrive beyond the impacts of family mental illness.

We deliver our services to young people aged 8-18 years impacted by family mental illness with the aim of empowering them to build resilience, lifelong knowledge and abilities, so they can reach their potential.

Our Programs

We provide evidence-based, age appropriate prevention and early intervention mental health services, embedded within a peer-based social and activity based format. Children attend an annual camp and a series of fun activity days, featuring mental health education.
