Network resource hubs

Over time, the network will develop a number of resource hubs addressing specialised topic areas, in partnership with key stakeholders.

The range of resource hubs will address issues as they affect children and adolescents in relation to particular settings, contexts, events and experiences associated with psychological trauma, loss and other adversities. These hubs relate to the priorities identified in the consultation process.

Network resource hubs will be developed in collaboration and partnership with key groups. To date, major and ongoing consultation has been in are areas of Early Childhood and Schools,  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Families and Communities, Disasters and Mass Adversities.

As resource hubs are initiated and the necessary consultation undertaken, network members will be invited to join as hub participants. There will be a staged implementation of hub-related activities, such as participant activities and a hub-specific email discussion list.

These relate to:

• Childcare, early childhood education, school settings
   
• Parent and family adversities such as parental mental illness and/or substance use
   
• Death or loss of a parent or other loved one
   
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities
   
• Rural or remote communities
   
• Refugee families and communities
   
• Health-related issues such as accidents, injuries or serious medical illnesses or trauma
   
• Child protection and justice systems
   
• Mass adversities and disasters
