Kidsafe WA is the leading independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting safety and preventing childhood injuries and accidents in Western Australia. Injuries are the leading cause of death in Australian children aged one to fourteen, accounting for nearly half of all deaths in this age group. More children die of injury than die of cancer, asthma and infectious diseases combined. Many of these deaths and injuries can be prevented. Kidsafe WA works in the community to educate and inform parents and children on staying safe at home, at play and on the road.

As October is Mental Health Awareness month, we would like you to join us in an engaging workshop that looks to explore how carers can be impacted by mental health and the strategies we can use to manage the many situations we as foster carers find ourselves in from time to time. Presenters Claire Green (North Metro Health Service) and Kerrie Smallwood Baldwin (Uniting Care West) come with an abundance of experience within both the Child Protection and Mental Health sector and will be sharing with you their experiences and learnings from supporting children with mental illness, managing biological families who are mentally unwell and understanding your own mental health. They will also be sharing information on how to keep yourself safe and mentally well, along with providing information on services you can reach out to for support.
