Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation supports young people aged 8–18 to build resilience, strengthen their mental health and wellbeing, develop positive help-seeking behaviours and create meaningful connections with peers. Our programs support young people impacted by family mental illness, including young carers, as well as children and young people from current and former Australian Defence Force families who may experience the unique challenges of Defence life. We provide clinically designed, evidence-based and age-appropriate prevention and early intervention mental health education in a fun, supportive and social environment. Through camps, Activity Days and online Connect sessions, young people have opportunities to make friends, build confidence, better understand mental health, develop practical coping skills and connect with others who share similar experiences. Our programs combine mental health education with fun and engaging activities, helping young people feel less alone while giving them knowledge and skills that can support their wellbeing throughout life. Our purpose is simple: empowering young people to thrive beyond the impacts of family mental illness.
