Prevention Programmes in Community Mental Health: A Review

Prevention Programmes in Community Mental Health: A Review Allocation of resources to community mental health care in Australia has escalated rapidly in recent years. The major conceptual advance has been the balancing of traditional therapeutic or remedial intervention with the goal of preventing psychological distress. The authors argue that the implementation of preventive programmes has fallen short of expectation. Two reasons are advanced: the differing status accorded the two activities, and the lack of goal definition in prevention programme development. Recommendations are made for the successful implementation of prevention programmes in community mental health care. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Social Issues Wiley

Abstract

Allocation of resources to community mental health care in Australia has escalated rapidly in recent years. The major conceptual advance has been the balancing of traditional therapeutic or remedial intervention with the goal of preventing psychological distress. The authors argue that the implementation of preventive programmes has fallen short of expectation. Two reasons are advanced: the differing status accorded the two activities, and the lack of goal definition in prevention programme development. Recommendations are made for the successful implementation of prevention programmes in community mental health care.
