Supporting Children Through Family Breakdown
Helping promote the prevention of mental illness amongst children and young adults exposed to physical, psychological or emotional distress as a result of parental breakdown, separation or family violence.
Children and Teenagers whose parents separate are 300% more likely to experience mental health issues.
(Laumann-Billings & Emery, Journal of Family Psychology, 2000)
We are on a mission to change that.
Family breakdowns are known to cause distress to all involved which subsequently, can lead children to experience feelings of anxiety and loneliness. Experiencing these feelings early in life can lead to an increased risk of mental illness. To Be Loved Network’s mission is to promote the prevention of mental illness amongst children and young adults exposed to the legal system as a result of family breakdowns.
Educating the Australian ecosystem of family members, judges and other legal professionals on the pressure children face in the midst of family turmoil, To Be Loved strives to generate greater consideration for children in the legal system.
