91% of parents are taking at least one action to support their kids' mental health. Yet stigma lingers—55% feel judged for seeking help, and 54% find it hard to talk about. Let’s #BreakTheStigma and prioritise mental wellness for families. hubs.la/Q02ZMrbM0 #StateofMind2024

“We need to start a conversation to raise awareness of things we can do really practically to support children. Imagine what the world could be if we all started paying more attention to mental fitness, particularly in children.” @KerrieBuhagiar #StateOfMind2024 #MentalFitness

"The lack of autonomous play is contributing to increased anxiety. Kids haven't been allowed to fail, and this can come together in primary school. An afternoon without a schedule can help kids create memories that matter." @queenofcommonse #StateOfMind2024

"Looking back at past generations, parents had more affordable mortgages, and often one caregiver could stay home. Today, with the rising cost of living, it's a challenge for many families as both parents now need to work to make ends meet." #StateOfMind2024 #MentalHealth

The link between parent and child mental health serves as a reminder that children’s mental health can’t be seen in isolation, and it’s critically important that we look after parents and caregivers' mental health too. @KerrieBuhagiar #StateOfMind2024

“Just as women’s safety is a key priority for National Cabinet, we need children’s safety and wellbeing to be made a national priority. Despite decades of evidence, there is currently a lack of accountability and urgency for change.”  Brilliant to see this call to action from the National Children’s Commissioner @AnneHollonds humanrights.gov.au/about/new…
