| Wisdom from the Drought | Org: Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health
|
In December 2003, the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health hosted a consultative conference which brought together drought support workers, rural support agencies and mental health services to discuss and respond to three key questions. These were: from the range of strategies that services were utilising to support the mental health and wellbeing of farmers and the rural communities, what strategies were working well, what would be done differently next time, and what strategies should be in place to ensure that effective service responses can be in place next time there is a drought. This report documents the conference and their responses. |

| Mapping the Network: an evaluation of a capacity building model for the development of mental health promotion practice within a rural setting | Org: Hunter New England Area Health Service

Mapping the Network is an evaluation project that was designed to assess the effectiveness of a capacity building model for promotion, prevention and early intervention (PPEI) practice, developed in the Northern Region of the Hunter New England Area Health Service. The Northern Region Mental Health Promotion Network was established with the aim of building the capacity of the mental health workforce to practice PPEI through the development of their skills and knowledge and support for the sustainability of their practice. This report provides a discussion of the findings of the Mapping the Network evaluation and recommendations for the further development of the Network model. |
