Established in 2009 in Melbourne, Satellite is a not-for-profit organisation that has evolved from over 25 years of work by many who have recognised the challenges facing families where a parent or primary caregiver has a mental illness.

In recent years services for adults with mental illness have become more available, yet there is no ready support for the children in these families who are often overlooked.

Satellite is dedicated to changing that narrative and aims to contribute to the work of many other organisations that strive to yield more positive outcomes for these children and young people.

Their programs, activities, and messaging provide important opportunities for peer support, connections and strengthening skills in overcoming challenges while offering information to young people and families to help them make sense of what is happening.
