My Healthy South West

Embrace @ Telethon Kids Institute is the research collaboration devoted to the mental health of children and young people ages 0-25. Together with their partners, researchers at Embrace want to make a difference to the lives of children and young people who experience mental health challenges.

If you are between 14-25, or parents/caregivers supporting children and young people (0-25) with behavioural, emotional and/or mental health concerns, and all professionals working in child/youth mental health (including but not limited to clinicians, youth workers, administrators, policy makers) we encourage you to take part in the survey.

Research is so important to identify gaps and needs so that we can provide adequate servicing. Make sure your opinions are heard by following the link below and filling in the survey.

Telethon Kids Institute researchers need your help to identify the top priorities for future child and youth mental health research. Complete our short (10 minute) survey to share your thoughts on mental health topics, including causes, diagnosis, treatment, management and navigating the mental health care system.

Your feedback will help guide areas of focus for future research priorities at Telethon Kids Institute.
