Resources for local government

  • Why local government matters for infant, child and family mental health

    Local governments influence many of the environments in which children and families live, play, connect and participate. Through community planning, public spaces, libraries and community centres, recreation, community programs, engagement and partnerships, local governments help shape the everyday experiences of children and families.

    While local governments are not specifically mental health service providers, many areas of their existing work can contribute to infant, child and family mental health and wellbeing.
