‘Right care, first time, where you live’ held its first workshop of the systems modelling phase in April with the support and collaboration of Wentworth Healthcare, the Primary Health Network, for the Blue Mountains Nepean region. Wentworth Healthcare did a tremendous job of bringing the community together, in spite of inclement weather and flooding. People from all areas of the youth mental health system in the Blue Mountains Nepean region were represented and it was wonderful to see so many young people with lived experience of the system, so engaged in the process.
At the end of the first workshop, we had mapped out the youth mental health system of the Blue Mountains Nepean region. The Brain and Mind Centre team will now take that information and transform it into a computer model that shows how the mental health system is currently working in the region.
“It was wonderful to see such a diverse group of workshop participants from right across the PHN region and from so many sectors of the community. Wentworth Healthcare did a fantastic job at ensuring participants especially young people with lived experience were able to come together to share their experience of accessing care in the Nepean Blue Mountains region, which ensures the first phase of the systems modelling process, the mapping phase, captures the diversity and texture of the mental health system in the region” says Sam Huntley, Implementation and Engagement Manager, ‘Right care, first time, where you live”.
