Welcome to Birdie’s Tree

Join Birdie and Mr Frog as they learn about different natural disasters and find out how to cope and recover from stressful events.

Birdie’s Tree is an award winning set of storybooks, videos and resources created by the Queensland Centre for Perinatal and Infant Mental Health (QCPIMH). We’ve created Birdie’s Tree to help children and families going through natural disasters and disruptive events.

We also have booklets to help parents and carers look after themselves and a learning program for early childhood teachers.
