Child mental health

This community aims to foster collegiate support and collaboration to deliver positive mental health outcomes for Tasmanian children and their families. We seek to support all those who work in this space- including but not limited to child health and community nurses, GPs, private and school psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, paediatricians and child and adolescent psychiatrists. We are also keen to support students and trainees in these areas. We aim to meet once every second month online and hope to deliver an annual in person meeting if desired by members.
