How can the state influence Commonwealth? • Need an increased focus on infants, children and early family parenting • Youth and prevention and promotion • Rural and regional - capacity building, vastly increased services, culturally secure, youth and adolescent MH urgent priority, community beds, AOD, police responses, prevention for young people, workforce issues • Trauma informed care • Workforce issues – specialised workforce, peers, skills and competencies, local capacity, their own health and well-being, clinical input • Forensic beds and community based services are urgent, particular issue in Kimberley, forensic services to be provided by NGOs not just govt, • How will decisions about implementation be made? Who will be involved in the process? Need for extensive consultation and engagement state-wide • What about monitoring and evaluation?
