KidsMatter aims to strengthen the mental health and wellbeing of children, reduce mental health problems amongst children, and achieve greater support for children experiencing mental health difficulties, and their families.
It includes:
- KidsMatter Early Childhood: implementation in preschools and long day care
- KidsMatter Primary: implementation in Australian primary schools
- KidsMatter Transition to School: support during the transition to school.
Each initiative involves the people who have a significant influence on children’s lives – parents, carers, families, child care professionals, teachers and community groups – in making a positive difference to children’s mental health.
