Kookaburra Kids Foundation & Support for Defence Kids aged 8-18 Military Life

This week's podcast episode is all about the Kookaburra Kids Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation supporting children aged 8-18 years, living in families affected by mental illness. 
 
 
I talk to Community Engagement Manager, Sarah Hartley about;
Why they introduced a program just for defence kids What the Kookaburra Kids Defence Kids Program is all about
Why age-appropriate prevention and early intervention mental health services are important
Why support for kids living in families affected by mental illness makes a difference How Kookaburra Kids make use of a peer-based social and activity-based format to help kids
Why you DON'T need a formal mental health diagnosis to access support for your kids What other programs Kookaburra Kids offers and the online option defence kids can access
