The CREATE Centre is partnering with The Matilda Centre to develop practical knowledge addressing the global public health concern around the mental health and wellbeing of children. Our combined efforts have produced the 123Play Project. Good mental health and wellbeing for children means they can live happy, healthy lives, with good relationships and greater resilience to stressors.
