• We will present a “45-minute HealthPlay” fact-checked by headspace and Mental Health Victoria: experiential learning is a powerful tool. • We will present a 30-minute Q&A using evidence base of Positive Psychology and neuroscience: this learning session will enhance mental wellbeing and resilience. • We will provide a "need-to-know" 36-page resource with information sourced from credible experts and first-person interviews (a mix of theory and personal) – from Parenting Guides Ltd, the partner organisation and organising body.

• Collaborating with “best practice” and “like-minded" people and foundations to pool resources and eliminate duplication: youth suicide is a difficult subject confronting all communities. • Target parents, carers, educators and health professionals working with teenagers: we want parents - especially - to take "ownership through education". • Delivered in a safe environment, i.e. community libraries/theatres/schools: up to 120 people at a time. • Delivered in an art form that has "light and shade": understanding the impact of mental health on families is not to be underestimated. • Backed up with a hard copy 36-page educational resource: not a pdf.

Mental Health never gets enough resources. Its good to see an initiative that has support from Headspace and other professionals that will target parents as well as carers and the population as a whole in what sounds like a very accessible format..

There is a huge need for this kind of support, especially in rural areas
