For over 20 years, Emerging Minds (previously the Australian Infant, Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Health Association – AICAFMHA) has been dedicated to advancing the mental health and emotional wellbeing of Australian infants, children, adolescents and their families. The COAG Early Intervention Services for Parents, Children and Young People initiative provides funding to assist parents and schools to better identify children at risk of mental illness and to offer early referral for appropriate treatment.
