Healthy North Coast - Phase 1 Overview

Описание: The ‘Right care, first time, where you live’ Program launched the Healthy North Coast’s systems model of the youth mental health system for their region.

It’s been wonderful to collaborate with Healthy North Coast and their community, particularly the young people with lived experience who were involved in the development of the tool.

It was exciting to see how the community embraced the systems model and see its value and potential. We were able to show the impact that the interventions that we have mapped out could have and what it looks like when you are trying to determine where to expand and grow in the future.

As Monika Wheeler, the CEO of Health North Coast says: “… what the model provides is through that dynamic, the dynamic simulation is you can see what happens if you enhance it's optimization of current services as well as bringing new services in.

So it's not necessarily all about more. It's about getting the right mix of services to get those amazing outcomes that we want to see, which is a decrease in mental health distress.

She believes that through the model: “we can work out where it would be best to invest in, and work out what the best areas would be to give the better outcomes”.
