Kookaburra Kids Connect

Initially developed to support our Kookaburra Kids through the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, our online Kookaburra Kids Connect program is accessible to all our young people, no matter their location.

Our Connect program has been developed with the intention of strengthening bonds between our young people before and between programs, to build safe and positive help-seeking behaviours, and increase their sense of belonging and connectiveness. All materials used throughout our connect program has been developed by our clinical team and are age appropriate.

How are the sessions run?

The sessions are “hosted” by AKKF staff and volunteers and are designed to be a fun, safe area where young people can express themselves in a supportive environment. Our connect sessions are interactive and follow a similar format as our activity days and camps; incorporating fun with leaning, they differ greatly from school online environments.

Materials used throughout our connect program has been developed by our clinical team and are age appropriate.
