At headspace, family is defined uniquely by each young person. Family is considered an integral part of a young person’s circle of care. Family and other caregivers – whether by birth, choice or circumstance – hold a significant role in supporting a young person by fostering a sense of belonging and connection through their shared experience.
The headspace Armadale Family Reference Group allows for family and caregivers to share their valuable insights and unique perspectives based on their own experiences of headspace and/or the mental health system, and to contribute to the improvement of services and resources at headspace to best support young people.

We value the unique input of people coming from all different walks of life and strongly encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures to apply and share their perspectives on youth mental health, emotional wellbeing, and how these may be improved in our community.
