New Parenting Referral Sheet for Health Practitioners
In recognition of the Global Day of Parents (June 1), we’re excited to share a new Parenting Strategies Referral Sheet. This practical resource will help health practitioners to refer parents and caregivers to trusted online programs and resources focused on building effective parenting skills and tackling child mental health challenges.
If you are looking for more resources for parents/caregivers and their children, check out our recently updated brochures, which are now available in an easy-to-print A4 format; Digital Mental Health Resources for Adolescents (12-17yrs) and Digital Mental Health Resources for Children (up to 11yrs) and their Parents and Caregivers. These are available for anyone to distribute.
eMHPrac Featured as a Global Case Study by eMHIC
We’re proud to share that eMHPrac has been recognised as a featured case study by the eMental Health International Collaborative (eMHIC). The article highlights eMHPrac’s role in supporting the national implementation of digital mental health in Australia, showcasing our efforts to promote awareness, understanding and the clinical utility of digital resources for health practitioners.
