Integrated Mental Health

This article outlines a Healthy Lifestyles Programme (HLP) for chronically mentally ill people in the South Coast Regional Health Authority in Australia, in the area of integrated mental health services. This programme has provided practical community-based experiences for chronically mentally ill people, focusing on functional deficits in daily living skills. Major reforms in service delivery in mental health have resulted in a move to community-based care. The 1994 Queensland Mental Health Plan set out specific objectives and strategies for the implementation of mental health service reform. One of the immediate priorities for Queensland is the establishing of mainstream integrated services to promote continuity of care across service components. The HLP reflects this priority in providing a community-based service in an integrated mental health setting, using the principles of community-based integration, family support, collaboration, rehabilitation and case management, as outlined in the community care model.
