For children, youth and families
Research, innovation, learning and advocacy in the field of mental health and psychosocial wellbeing for children, youth and families facing adversity.
Our purpose
We build connections to create knowledge and new ways to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children, youth and families facing adversity.
Adolescents and youth
Building infrastructure and capacity for young people’s involvement in mental health initiatives.
Crises expose children and young people to significant physical and psychological harm, disrupt their development and learning. Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) address children's mental health and psychosocial needs during crisis. Despite children's natural resilience, without proper support, these challenges can worsen. Effective MHPSS programmes work across multiple sectors to enhance wellbeing and mitigate the long-term effects of adversity, providing vital support for children and their caregivers to recover and thrive.
