Kids Mental Health is an online publication that advocates for children’s mental wellbeing. We publish informational articles and guides for parents, caregivers and professionals, with the aim of helping people understand mental health, recognise warning signs, and know what support and treatment options exist. We want to help reduce the stigma around mental illness so that families feel able to speak up and seek help.
What you will find here
- Guides on warning signs, assessments and suicide prevention.
- Articles on anxiety, trauma, ADHD, school, family life and child development, with tips for parents.
- Explanations of therapeutic approaches and the types of treatment available, and news on children’s mental health.
What we are not
We are an information website. We do not provide diagnosis, treatment or any direct service to families, and our articles are not a substitute for professional care. If you are worried about a child, please speak with your family doctor or contact a local health service. Read our Medical Disclaimer, which explains what to do in an emergency.
