This week's podcast episode is all about the Kookaburra Kids Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation supporting children aged 8-18 years, living in families affected by mental illness.

• Why age-appropriate prevention and early intervention mental health services are important
  
• Why support for kids living in families affected by mental illness makes a difference
• How Kookaburra Kids make use of a peer-based social and activity-based format to help kids
