WORKING ACROSS SECTORS TO FOCUS ON THE PERSON: INTERNATIONAL EXAMPLES
The session focused on two international examples of complex service delivery: The Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat in the United Kingdom, a national agreement between services and agencies involved in the care and support of people in crisis; and The Multiple and Complex Needs Initiative (MaCNI) in Victoria, Australia, which provides targeted, time-limited, and flexible interventions for people over 16 years old who have complex needs and who pose a risk to themselves and/or others.
The discussion was facilitated by Jonny Morris, CEO of the Canadian Mental Health Association BC, and will feature a panel of experts closely associated with these initiative.
