Support for Parents with Teenagers in Crisis

The Mental Health Association of Central Australia (MHACA) is responding to an identified need in the community around support for parents and carers who have teenagers experiencing mental health challenges or are in crisis. 

MHACA has held stakeholder meetings with local services including Child Youth Mental Health Team CAHS, headspace Alice Springs, MIFANT, Holyoake and Relationships Australia and also with parents who have lived experience of this issue. It was felt that a good way to understand the level of need in the community was to run a short survey that asked parents and carers what supports would help. 

If you are the parent or carer of a teenager please complete this short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/52RD7TK
