Smiling Mind is the innovator behind Australia's trusted wellbeing app—but when it comes to supporting children and families, the app is just the tip of the iceburg. With a vision to create generational change in mental health, Smiling Mind puts kids—and the adults who support them—at the centre of everything we do. From tools and resources to advocacy, Smiling Mind is here for you.
The Smiling Mind Generation is a social movement dedicated to helping all Australian children proactively develop the mental fitness skills they need to support lifelong wellbeing. Our goal is for the Smiling Mind Generation to be the first to collectively possess the skills to thrive and maintain their mental health. Here, in the Smiling Mind Generation Hub, parents and carers can find a range of resources and tools to help children grow the skills and capabilities shown to build mental fitness and support positive mental wellbeing.
Smiling Mind have been adovcating for more adequate focus and funding to address the growing crisis in our kids' mental health and wellbeing. The Our Kids Count campaign calls for a dedicated Minister for Children to be appointed who can prioritise the needs and rights of children at a national level—giving a voice to our youngest generations when they aren't able to use their own. Every petition signature matters as we campaign for a healthy future for our kids.
