Supporting kids living in families affected by mental illness

Our Vision

We aspire to be recognised as national experts in empowering young people to grow beyond the impacts of familial mental illness.

Our Mission

We deliver our services to young people experiencing familial 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.
