National Workforce Survey for Parent, Family and Child Mental Health 2020-21 - Key Findings Webinar

5 Jul 2023, 12:30pm-1:30pm

At this webinar the results of the first National Workforce Survey for Parent, Family and Child Mental Health in 2020/21 will be shared. 


Between December 2020 and March 2021, we asked health, social and community services workers in Australia how they viewed their capabilities in regard to understanding and responding to child mental health. This event will provide an overview of what we have learned from the 1,500 workers who took part. We wanted to make sure key industry stakeholders, such as yourself and your organisation, have the opportunity to hear about this important research and to also update you on the next iteration of the survey occurring in 2023. 

The results of the survey provide a snapshot in time of workforce capability to respond to children and families, and will provide useful information for those representing professions, sectors or regions, as well as interested practitioners. 

Please share this event with other people in your organisation or sector who would find this webinar useful, and if this content is not right for your role, please forward on this invitation to the appropriate people in your organisation. 

With growing awareness around children’s mental health and wellbeing, especially in recent times with the impacts of the pandemic and natural disaster, it is important to shape a strong and capable health and social services workforce. We hope this data will be used to help guide decisions about how best to support workforces. 

See the highlights of the results in the National Workforce Survey Infographic and check out the Emerging Minds website to learn more about our free practitioner training and resources. 

When: Wednesday 5th July, 12:30 - 1:30pm AEST
