Mental health education and awareness
We understand how overwhelming it can feel when a young person you love is struggling with their mental health. Families and carers often want to help but don’t always have the right information or tools. That’s why our resources are designed to give you the knowledge, confidence, and support you need to walk this journey with your young person.
The challenge families face
When there’s a lack of understanding about youth mental health, especially when psychosocial disability or multiple conditions are involved, it can lead to fear, stigma, or even misdiagnosis. Schools and health professionals may miss important signs, leaving parents, carers, and kin feeling unsure of what's happening or how to respond.
How we can help
Our resources are peer-led and grounded in lived experience, meaning they’re created by people who’ve been through similar challenges. We provide:
- Simple, clear guides that make complex mental health topics easier to understand
- Practical resources for families, carers, schools, and health professionals
- Peer insights and support that remind you, you’re not alone
- Confidence-building tools so you feel prepared to support your young person
Why it matters
Education is more than just information; it’s reassurance, hope, and strength for families and carers. With the right knowledge, you can better understand what your young person is going through, reduce stigma, and create a supportive environment where they feel safe and valued.
