Join us as we explore the connection between our lives as children and our experience of mental health and wellbeing as adults.

On the back of groundbreaking research conducted by the University of Sydney Matilda Centre, our panel of experts will explore how nurturing little lives, including through the child protection system, is essential to lifelong mental wellbeing.  

We'll speak honestly about the strengths and weaknesses of the status quo, as well as canvassing some tested solutions that should give us cause for hope.
