"Working Together"

How the Ministry of Health can obtain and integrate Mental Health Consumer Input and Perspectives in policy, legislative, service and system development work


Date of publication: June 2005

Summary


“Working Together” was written by the Kites Trust to advance the Ministry of Health’s knowledge of how to obtain and integrate input from mental health service users in its policy, legislative, service and system development work. “Working Together” is based on consultation (via questionnaires and interviews) with members of consumer organisations, individual consumers and representatives of relevant government agencies. Also included is a small-scale review of relevant international and New Zealand literature. “Working Together” is included on the Ministry of Health website because the Ministry recognises that it may be of interest to the wider sector. Nevertheless, its inclusion does not imply Ministry of Health endorsement.
