Abstract: The KOPING Forum is a collaborative, interagency group of service providers and consumer and carer representatives, working together to meet the needs of children and young people, and their families, where a parent is affected by a mental health problem. The Forum has initiated a number of service development strategies, training and group programs, and has developed resources for both service providers and families. The KOPING Forum has a strong consumer and carer participation focus and has worked to align the programs strategies with state and national priorities, and local community needs.
