Our mission and values

At Hands and Mind, we believe that a child’s ability to thrive is fundamentally shaped by their access to communication, connection to others, and attachment to community.

Our mission and vision

At Hands and Mind, we are dedicated to nurturing the mental health of children, young people, and their families across Australia. Our mission is to provide accessible, culturally, and linguistically appropriate care tailored to the unique needs of each family. We believe that mental health support should be inclusive and respectful of every individual's background and experiences.

Our practice was founded on the principle that everyone deserves to be understood and supported. We recognise the diverse needs of the communities we serve and strive to create a welcoming environment where all families feel valued. Our services are designed to be flexible and adaptable, ensuring that we can meet you where you are, whether that’s through face-to-face sessions or telehealth options.

At Hands and Mind, we are committed to ongoing learning and development. Our practitioners stay current with the latest research and best practices in mental health care. We continuously seek to improve our services and expand our knowledge to better serve our community.
