Martyn Wild Welcome to our family discussion with Dr Martyn Wild.

I am really excited at the prospect of working together with Telstra as Family Champion for Ideas For Good.

So often we target our well-being messages and advice direct to children and young people, and often via schools to teachers and the kids themselves. But it is the family where we need to really spend much of our energies, as it is parents who hold the keys to their children's mental and physical health and well-being.
