The Cause

Help us support young people impacted by mental illness.
It is estimated that 1 in 5 Australian young people are living in families impacted by mental illness. Kookaburra Kids is all about supporting these young people, promoting mental health education and teaching safe, positive help-seeking behaviours, while bringing kids together from similar situations and making sure that they feel understood.
We offer a range of free evidence-based, age-appropriate prevention and early intervention programs ranging from Camps, Activity Days and online Connect sessions for young people aged 8 to 18. We aim to empower, build resilience, develop life-long knowledge, skills and abilities so they can reach their full potential, and live beyond the impacts of family mental illness. Best of all…. it’s fun!
Drought, bushfires, floods and a global pandemic have resulted in an increased demand for our services and we need your help. Get involved and help us to continue supporting young Australian kids!
