What the community said…
The Blueprint for Better Health is the first step towards better mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide prevention care in our region.
Like the first drawings for a building, this Blueprint is the basis for a more detailed set of plans. It maps what’s working, and what isn’t, according to those with direct experience of mental illness and related support services, as well as the analysis of health data and policies. It identifies common areas for improvement.
What’s next?
We will continue to work with community members, service providers and other stakeholders to build on what we have heard through our community consultations. Our aim is to improve access for, and the experiences of people using mental health, AOD and suicide prevention services in our region.
