IKEN-MH - Perspectives on child and youth mental health and youth in care
Part 1 of the webinar focuses on New Zealand children who have been placed in care. Recently the Government commissioned a review of Child, Youth & Family (CYF) and it is now in its early stages of implementation. Consultations concluded the current system is failing. This webinar summarizes key changes the panel has recommended. Part 2 looks at ‘youth transitions’. Emerging adults (16-25) face complex needs as they try to move from youth to adult mental health and addiction services, or as they disengage entirely due to lack of management between sectors or ministries. The presentation examines the consensus building process in the context of child and youth mental health in Canada..

IKEN-MH: The public’s mental health and wellbeing: A local, national, and global challenge
"...improvement in population health is only possible if countries make the prevention and treatment of mental and substance use disorders a public health priority." This webinar was inspired by this quote and looked at wider population and community-targeted approaches to improving mental health and wellbeing for people, families, neighborhoods, and communities.

Forum on 'Open Dialogue' crisis care - Non-profit organisation advocates to share how they adapted Open Dialogue for use in Massachusetts, and the model’s benefits and limitations
Consumers, carers and clinicians had the opportunity to hear how one US organisation has implemented the ‘Open Dialogue’ model of psychiatric care at an information session hosted by the Mental Health Commission of NSW . Open Dialogue is a system of care for people experiencing a mental health crisis. It emphasises working with an individual, their family and network, in their own homes where possible, to help them to be together and engage in dialogue during a crisis situation. Distinguishing features include involving more than one clinician in care and making decisions in front of individuals and their network.

Needs must: changing the focus of workforce planning
Health Care Planning has largely been based on applying anticipated population demographic change to existing levels of workforce supply (or service utilisation) with no attention given to changing patterns of health care need within populations. In this session a new approach to health workforce planning is presented that accommodates changes in population needs, changes in the services planned to address needs and changes in the way those services are to be delivered.

Understanding the potential of telehealth for people in remote locations
The use of telehealth to support patients living in remote areas is gaining much interest in the Australian health sector. This presentation gives an overview of a range of telehealth projects led by the University of Queensland’s Centre for Online Health (COH). Critical steps in establishing these projects will be discussed, as well as key research findings, challenges and lessons learnt.

Strategies to implement evidence: audit and feedback
Evidence-based healthcare relies on the use of the best available evidence in healthcare. This often requires a change in the way care is delivered, and change can be difficult. This presentation described methods for evidence implementation, with a focus on audit and feedback as a mechanism to change and improve practice. Specifically, this presentation discussed: an introduction to evidence-based healthcare; current barriers to evidence-based healthcare; an introduction to evidence implementation and strategies for implementation; an introduction to audit and feedback projects including real world examples.
