Different audiences rely on us for different things. Whether you're a parent or carer searching for resources, a curious professional researcher, or an inquisitive member of the public, we've collated the items you may need.
Researchers at Embrace want to make a difference to the lives of children and young people who experience mental health challenges. To do that, we work with young people, parents, carers and community partners.
Our strategy, Embrace 2022, sets out the three research priorities that guide our work. These align with an Embrace project to identify the priorities for future child and youth mental health research in Western Australia. Our activity is based on the findings of that project: the research that the community told us they want to see happen.
You can find our strategy and the community priority setting project report below.
Our strategy also describes the three principles that underlie all of our work and make Embrace the strategic unit for mental health in Western Australia.
Embrace works across infancy, childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood (0-25 years) to identify the origins of mental health difficulties, develop new interventions and facilitate the effective translation of findings into clinical practice and policy.
A focus on the timely detection of mental health issues, and readily available appropriate support is vital to improve the mental health and wellbeing of infants, children, and young people. Embrace works to advance our understanding of mental health and wellbeing with a focus on addressing mental health issues early in life and early in illness.
Embrace is primarily focused on improving mental health outcomes within WA and on working collaboratively with young people, parents, communities, and other organisations. Embrace welcomes collaboration beyond WA to help tackle challenges faced across state and national borders, but works first and foremost within the state and for the benefit of WA infants, children, adolescents, and young adults.
