My mum lost her son for 21 years because of a lie from the Salvation Army. Stories like hers are part of the reason why some expecting First Nations mothers avoid hospitals & institutions.

Research by @FamilyStudies Brendan Quinn shows that GPs are crucial in meeting the immediate needs of children with social and emotional problems, but mental health services for children in regional and rural areas are lacking. #AIFSCONF

As parents start supporting kids to re-enage with extra-curricular activities, it's great to be part of the discussion around this timely topic. As @WarrenGCann explains in this article, organised activities can be good for children’s development, wellbeing and for the community.
