MENTAL HEALTH AND ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG STRATEGY 2025-2030
The Mental Health Commission (Commission) is leading the development of a new Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy 2025-2030. This Strategy will guide the coordination and delivery of services for mental health and alcohol and other drugs for the next five years. The Strategy will recognise that the experiences of mental health and substance use are interconnected with the broader environments in which people live, work, and recreate. Furthermore, it will consider the social, environmental, and commercial factors that influence the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.---- For additional information about the Strategy, Please visit https://www.mhc.wa.gov.au/about-us/major-projects/mental-health-and-alcohol-and- other-drug-strategy-2025-2030/
The Commission has contracted the Multicultural Services Centre (MSC) to consult with individuals from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) backgrounds to ensure that their needs, preferences, and experiences with services and approaches inform the Strategy.
The MSC is convening focus group sessions across the metropolitan area, focusing on young people, humanitarian entrants, seniors, women and high-risk groups. If you are interested in attending a workshop, please email consultations@mscwa.com.au.
If you prefer to make a confidential submission, please contact Mala Dharmananda at 0419 334 583 or email consultations@mscwa.com.au.
The MSC also encourages you to participate in the broader consultations being conducted by the Commission.
Your insights and feedback are highly valued. We seek to highlight your experiences and preferences to ensure your needs are prioritised by the Commission’s Strategy.
