The impact of childhood trauma and mental ill-health
can be devastating and long lasting

 

We need your support today

1 in 7 Australian children have a mental-health issue¹ and 1 in 5 Australian children have been exposed to 3 or more
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)².

These ACEs relate to neglect, abuse, loss, household dysfunction or other significant trauma.

Vulnerable children need vital early-intervention support so that the impact of these issues don’t grow with them into adulthood
causing lifelong challenges.

But we can’t do this alone. We need your help to provide these services.
