This document provides a framework that aims to specifically guide the development and implementation of strategies for the promotion of mental health and wellbeing and prevention of mental health problems in LGBTI Australians.

This document is a collection of practice wisdom from the consulting room that compiles the professional experiences of those working with LGBTI people. It may be useful to psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, community workers or youth workers.

In 2013, Mind (UK) commissioned nef (the new economics foundation) to carry out a review of existing evidence regarding co-production – examining when, why, and how it has been used in mental health and what impact it has had on people’s lives and their recovery.

The framework describes the practice domains and key capabilities required for the mental health workforce to operate in accordance with the recovery approach. The framework is presented in two companion documents: a guide for practitioners & providers, and a policy and theory document.

These standards outline capabilities that all mental health professionals should achieve in their work. They are intended to complement discipline-specific practice standards or competencies of the professions of nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, psychology and social work.

This framework is central to the government's commitment to reduce restriction and provide mental health services that are safe places for all people accessing treatment and care, their support people and those who work with them.

The roadmap outlines the reform directions governments will take over the 10-year period 2012-2022 and re-commits the Australian Government and states and territories to working together towards real improvements in the lives of people with mental illness, their families, carers and communities.
