The link b/w child maltreatment & mental ill-health is well established. This report https://t.co/l4P9Cuk321 shows just how widespread the problem is in Aus. The prevention of child maltreatment & other ACEs must be central to our mental health policy @Emma4Dobell @Mark_Butler_MP

Financial stress, debt, & poverty are bad for our mental health. Yet on average in 2019-20, 1 in 8 people (including 1 in 6 children) lived below the poverty line. If we care about child mental health and women's mental health, we need to tackle poverty. #raiseTheRate
