The Starfish Program is based out of Moreton Bay, Kingston and surrounding areas.
Improving Mental Health And Maintaining Positive Emotional Wellbeing
We work to raise awareness of issues that may lead to poor mental health outcomes.
Research shows that intervening early when children and young people are experiencing difficulties can make all the difference. Along with raising awareness of issues leading to poor mental health outcomes, Starfish also works to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues.
