Online Resources for Carers
Below is a range of useful resources and communities for carers to explore and engage with.
HEAD TO HEALTH
Head to Health can help you find digital mental health services from some of Australia’s most trusted mental health organisations.
Provided by the Australian Department of Health, Head to Health brings together apps, online programs, online forums, and phone services, as well as a range of digital information resources.
EMERGING MINDS
Emerging Minds develops mental health policy, services, interventions, training, programs and resources in response to the needs of professionals, children and their families.
They partner with family members, national and international organisations to implement evidence-based practice into the Australian context. The resources are freely available.
BRUCE PERRY
Bruce Perry’s work has examined the cognitive, behavioural, emotional, social, and physiological effects of neglect and trauma in children, adolescents and adults. This work has been instrumental in describing how childhood experiences, including neglect and traumatic stress, change the biology of the brain – and, thereby, the health of the child.
DANIEL J. SIEGEL
Daniel J. Siegel’s work has focused on family interactions with an emphasis on how attachment experiences influence emotions, behaviour, autobiographical memory and narrative.
