Advocacy Toolkit update

We’re excited to share the new Melbourne Children’s Campus Advocacy Toolkit, an evidence informed resource for researchers, policymakers, and clinician scientists.  

This practical toolkit offers guidance and educational support for planning and delivering impactful public health advocacy targeted for government, health professional bodies, advocacy groups and communities.  

Our revised content includes information on timing advocacy, managing risk, integrating lived experience, and tailoring messaging for different audiences using real case studies. 

Mental Health Central gets a great upgrade 

Do you remember the dishwashing liquid ad featuring Madge? Well you are currently soaking in our new Mental Health Central website. With a new look, feel, and better functionality, Mental Health Central has the ability to bring you more tools and resources than ever before!

Mental Health Central has always intended to be a central source of truth when it comes to all things mental health across campus. It has garnered attention not only from internal campus staff but also from a broader community of clinicians and people interested in mental health, Australia and worldwide.

Be sure to check out our ever-growing Resources hub that houses all of our eLearns, family guides, toolkits, clinical practice guidelines, webinars, posters, publications, and more!
