Editor's Notes
- The NSW Government is committed to service reform in mental health and this was demonstrated by the commitment of Government in endorsing all 141 Actions in the Strategic Plan. There is Government Taskforce, led by NSW Ministry of Health, that is currently focused on developing the Implementation Plan which will outline the various roles and responsibilities, across government, in implementing the Strategic Plan.
- People with an intellectual disability experience poor mental health compared to the general population Access to mental health services is limited Lack of training, adequate resources and appropriate support services Recent release of the Accessible Mental Health Services for People with an Intellectual Disability: A Guide for Providers is an important step towards a more integrated approach to mental health an disability services
- What do we need ?? A more integrated mental health and disability system An improvement to partnerships between clinical mental health and community-managed and private service providers through the NDIS Better policy and program development for children and young people with an intellectual disability including early intervention and prevention of mental illness
- Actions from the strategic Plan 7.3.1 Ensure that Local Health Districts and community-based services implement Accessible Mental Health Services for People with an Intellectual Disability: A Guide for Providers. 7.3.2 Ensure that adequate training in the recognition, assessment, referral pathways and treatment for people with an intellectual disability and mental illness is given to all staff in mental health and disability services. Such training will need to include particular reference to adopting reasonable adjustments in clinical approaches and adopt a recovery-oriented approach. 7.3.3 As part of the NSW implementation plan for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, develop strategies to change from the present partnership between NSW Health and other state services with Ageing, Disability and Home Care to one with the community-managed and private sectors. This will need to take account of the impact on: joint projects memorandums of understanding co-developed guidelines relationship management dispute resolution systemic and strategic planning 7.3.4 Develop a recovery-oriented model of care for the provision of public mental health services to people with an intellectual disability that: builds the capacity of mainstream community and inpatient mental health services increases specialist capacity to meet more complex needs facilitates joint planning by disability services, mental health and other relevant services, including in relation to referral and treatment pathways and collaborative responses where intellectual disability and mental disorders coexist. 7.3.5 Develop accessible information for people with an intellectual disability and their families and carers about mental health services.
