A total of 85 people attended three Local Health Forums held in Warwick Farm, Campbelltown, and Bowral, to better understand mental health service gaps in our region.
The forums, held in August and September, provided community members with the chance to share valuable feedback about the barriers for people accessing mental health services.
The information gathered from the forums will help us to better target funding and services by understanding how people living in South Western Sydney access and engage with mental health services, the support people may need in accessing those services, and how we can improve services and coordination to best meet the needs of our community.
The feedback will also inform the SWSPHN Health Needs Assessment, which explores the priorities, service needs and gaps within the region.
Thank you to all who contributed.
