Overview
Multiple commissions, inquiries and reports into mental health service delivery within Australia have presented a compelling argument for the need to adopt a biopsychosocial approach over the traditional biomedical approach to healthcare. As a result, mental health service delivery has transitioned into the community, whereby numerous non-government organizations exist within primary health networks, which aim to provide care and early intervention from a biopsychosocial approach. For this assessment task, you will explore the role of non-government organizations and available interventions in the provision of treatment in Australia’s youth.
Learning outcomes
This assignment task is aligned with the following learning outcomes:

3. Deconstruct stepped care, its barriers and opportunities and impact on consumers and their families.
4. Analyse the range of interventions within primary health settings and the impact of these interventions for at least one vulnerable group within the community.
5. Critically discuss the role of ‘lived experience’ of mental illness and distress in informing policy and practice of mental health care including mutual self-help, peer support and advocacy.

Assignment details;
Building from the scenario you chose in assignment task B (Appendix A). Assume that the person has a minimal financial resources (and thus does not have the means to access private health care):
 
 

1. Construct a care plan which is recovery focused and will comprehensively address the young person’s problems accessing at least two non-government organizations (NGO’s) or programmes available within the primary care setting.

 
Your plan should include
 
 – Measurable and attainable treatment goals;
 
 -Recommended treatments and identify who will provide these, how they are funded, how referrals are made and how outcomes are measured;
 
-Self-care and/or self-help activities and community resources the person and/or their family may access.
 

2. Briefly discuss what tier in stepped care the person commences on, how progress, would or ought to be evaluated and how the next step in ‘stepped care’ could be accessed and under what circumstances; Identify any access gaps, obstacles, or barriers to the person getting the help they might need.

3. Summarise the care plan in a letter to the person’s general practitioner (GP) which in no more than 500 words (a page will suffice) summarises what programmes the person is referred to and how these are funded, what is expected to be achieved and how the GP should review progress in three months-time. Ensure this is written in a manner which would be comprehensible to the individual concerned.
