Programs, Services and Helplines
The aim of this listing is to assist information sharing and networking on this topic, principally with other people working with children and families but also with family members and professionals seeking services in their local area.
If your program, service or helpline is not already listed you can register your program, service or helpline by filling in the online form.
Please log your details if your program/activity directly assists the children of parents affected by mental illness and/or their families (e.g. peer support programs for children and/or their parents, respite services for young people or their parents, mental illness education programs for families with children). For programs that impact upon children of parents with a mental illness and their families indirectly (e.g. through workforce development, resource allocation, or organisational development) please consider listing the program in the Workers Resources/Capacity Building/Stories section of the COPMI website.
If you need further clarification on adding your program, service or helpline or if you want to update your current listing, contact Susan Hubbard or Nitsa Portokallas.
