Emerging Minds
For over 20 years Emerging Minds has been dedicated to advancing the mental health and emotional wellbeing of Australian infants, children, adolescents and their families. The organisation now leads the National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health, delivered in partnership with the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS), the Parenting Research Centre (PRC) and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP).
How Emerging Minds can help
Emerging Minds develops mental health policy, services, interventions, training, programs and resources in response to the needs of professionals, children and their families. Emerging Minds partner with family members, national and international organisations to implement evidence-based practice into the Australian context.
The National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health has been established to assist professionals and organisations who work with children and/or parents/families to have the skills to identify, assess and support children at risk of mental health conditions.
The Centre incorporates three key components:
- an online workforce gateway where you can access free training courses, practice guides, podcasts, webinars, tools, information, and news.
- a national team of Child Mental Health Workforce Consultants to support organisations to implement child-aware practice, utilise the tools developed by the National Workforce Centre and create systems change.
- and a communication and knowledge translation strategy to support the diffusion of evidence into practice.
