Assume that the person has a minimal financial resources (and thus does not have the means to access private health care):
Multiple commissions, inquiries and reports into mental health service delivery within Australia have presented a compelling argument for the need to adopt a biopsychosocial approach over the traditional biomedical approach to healthcare. As a result, mental health service delivery has transitioned into the community, whereby numerous non-government organizations exist within primary health networks, which aim to provide care and early intervention from a biopsychosocial approach. For this assessment task, you will explore the role of non-government organizations and available interventions in the provision of treatment in Australia’s youth.
