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.
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.
"Please can I come again, it was so much FUN"
"This is the first time I have been able to talk to someone who understands about my mum’s bipolar disorder, I have a new friend and I am not alone anymore, thanks Kookaburra Kids"
"This is the best weekend I have ever had in my whole life, I can’t wait until the next camp”
"Camp acted as an escape, leaders were role models and gave me plenty of resources specifically relating to my father’s illness and how to deal with it."
“KK has given me better understanding of mental illness, a group of friends who are always there to talk to and will understand”
With your support, we can reach more children across Australia impacted by family mental illness.
If you are a trust or foundation, or simply want to participate in regular giving, your support will benefit many children in need.
