Advocacy
We're advocating for systematic change within the mental health sector to improve care outcomes for all children, young people, and their families.
By championing the voices of young people, families, and staff, and an evidence-based approach, we help facilitate links between researchers, service providers, practitioners, and policymakers to achieve lasting change.
This means prioritising mental health literacy, access to evidence-based clinical care, workforce mental health education, and engagement with lived experience.
Examples of our advocacy work

We have developed an evidence informed advocacy toolkit for researchers, policymakers, and clinician scientists.
