We worked with health service providers and consumers of mental health and addiction services to imagine a consumer-governed health care organisation.
We facilitated a process that brought mainstream health providers together with a group of consumers of mental health and drug and other addiction services to co-create a new health care organization to be be governed by the consumers.
This new organization intends to use a holistic, wellness-focused, community-based treatment approach rather than a more traditional diagnosis-and medication-based one, and will provide a broader range of services than the current health system. A more flexible care delivery system will be embraced in order to include both consumers and their families in the recovery process.
