Children of Parents with a Mental Illness (COPMI)

We provide information for family members across Australia where a parent has a mental illness and for people who care for and work with them.

The website is one tool we use to deliver this information. We also work with the media, researchers, educators, service organisations, consumers, carers and others.

New information is being added to the COPMI website regularly. Please contact us at copmi@aicafmha.net.au if you have ideas on how this website could be improved.

The COPMI initiative is being undertaken by the Australian Infant Child Adolescent and Family Mental Health Association (AICAFMHA) with funding from the Australian Government.

The overall aim of the Australian COPMI initiative is to promote better mental health outcomes for children (0 - 18 years) of parents with a mental health problem or disorder.

Inaugural World COPMI Conference

To be convened by the COPMI National Initiative, the conference will be held at the Hilton International Adelaide in South Australia, 26-28 October 2009 in conjunction with the 6th National Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference.
