Seeking stories from consumers and carers – improving the mental health of children

Children of Parents with a Mental Illness (COPMI) are collecting stories of Consumer and Carer Participation where the outcome is improved mental health for children of parents with a mental illness.

This storytelling activity aims to share the knowledge and experience from services and individuals who incorporate consumer and carer participation into their practice. The stories will be collated into a booklet that will be available for download from the COPMI website to provide guidance and advice regarding the involvement of consumers and carers in workforce education, systems change and monitoring.

If you have a story to tell, please visit the COPMI website:
