Our collaborators

Acknowledgements

Emerging Minds is committed to working in partnership with child and family partners and professionals, across Australia. The expertise and experiences of a wide range of individuals has been vital in helping us produce content which helps you to support children’s mental health. The list below does not include the thousands of people across Australia who have so generously supported our content, and we would like to thank all of you. This list acknowledges those child and family partners and professionals who have worked intensively with us on reference and consultation groups whose advice has been central in producing our online courses and other content.

Emerging Minds would like to specifically acknowledge the generosity and wisdom of our National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Consultancy, and our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lived Experience Advocates who have provided vital direction regarding our cultural resource development practices.

 

Child and Family Partners List

Emerging Minds is committed to enabling the voices of children and families with experiences of adversity and resilience to shape and contribute to our work. Emerging Minds refers to these relationships and processes as Child and Family Partnerships. For Emerging Minds, working with child and family partners brings unique richness and value to our work. It adds a dimension that cannot be acquired any other way. Emerging Minds conceives child and family partners to provide unique and important perspectives (experience-based knowledge or evidence) which are valuable in terms of enhancing the quality of the products and outcomes for children and families, as well as the overall strategy and direction of the organisation. Many of these partners are named below, and some have chosen not to be named. We thank them all.
