Young People

Support for young mental health carers and for young people at risk of developing mental health challenges.

Young People Mental Health Support

Young people can be impacted by mental health challenges, both directly and indirectly. At Helping Minds, we support young people who have a loved one living with mental health challenges, and we also offer our Young Minds early intervention program for young people experiencing emotional difficulties, or at risk of mental health challenges.

Helping Minds is committed to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people by adopting the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations of the Australian Government. We promote a family-inclusive culture with children and their families to ensure children’s voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives.

How can we help support you

Young Carers

Support for young people aged seven upwards, who have a loved one experiencing mental health challenges.

Young Minds

Early intervention for young people experiencing emotional or social difficulties, or at risk of developing mental health challenges.

The Impact Of Caring

Being a young carer can be both rewarding and demanding. While providing care can foster a deep sense of purpose and maturity, it can also lead to feelings of stress, isolation, and fatigue. Balancing caregiving with other responsibilities can impact academic performance, social interactions, and even physical and emotional health.
