- Defence Kids is a 2-day camp for children whose parents are Australian Defence Force Service members or Veterans with a military-related mental illness. The 2-hour intervention component was designed to improve mental health literacy (i.e., ability to identify misconceptions about mental illness) and promote help-seeking intentions among participants. 236 youth reported on mental health literacy and help-seeking intentions before and after the camp and rated their overall camp experience. Generally, mental health literacy improved, and youth were more likely to seek help from a phone helpline after attending Defence Kids.
