For expressions of interest to participate in an online workshop for national principles for forensic mental health.
There was a large number of individuals and organisations that let us know that they were interested in participating in the project. Thank you to those of you who have already nominated!
We are working through the responses now and making arrangments for the workshops. We will be in touch with you very soon to let you know the best way to contribute your views.
For people with Lived Experience of the forensic mental health system either personally, as a family member, supporter, carer or close friend - it's not too late to participate. For more information email Mental Health Matters 2 - Mentalhealthmatters2@gmail.com
Our online survey is still open for you to share your views.
Let us know if you are interested in participating in an online workshop.
A series of online workshops are being planned between January and March of 2022.
The workshops will provide an opportunity for people to tell us about what they think is important for national principles for forensic mental health.
The workshops will be held online, with up to 25 participants each, and will take around 2 hours.
You will need to be living in Australia and aged 18 years or over to participate.
We can't promise that everyone who lets us know that they are interested, will be able to participate. Places will be allocated as expressions of interest are received. Register now if you would like to be considered.
We will be in touch closer to the time to see if you are available and still interested in joining in.
One or more workshops will be held for each of the following groups:
Principles for forensic mental health can be very important for people who are in contact with the criminal justice system, with mental health care needs. They provide the foundation for what the forensic mental health system should be striving to acheive.
Australia has a set of principles that were formed fifteen years ago. A lot of things have changed since this time that are important to forensic mental health.
We want to make sure that the forensic mental health system has up-to-date principles to guide it. These principles should reflect all the expertise and experience of the people who are affected by them.
We will be in touch with you closer to the time of the workshops to see if you are still interested and if you are available.
