Callan Park Mental Health Forum

This can be fixed.

The Utopia Research Institute will once again present our proposal, this time at the Callan Park Mental Health Forum on Saturday 27th June 2008, 10.30am for 11.00am start at the Balmain Town Hall.

The Forum will  discuss what the future may hold for Mental Health services at Callan Park after Leichhardt Council takes care, control and management of parts of the site.

Our proposal was (and still is) simple and straightforward, to identify common ground between the Utopia Research Institute, Federal, State, and Local Government, and NGO organisations to form collaborations, combine skills, expertise, shared resources, and an understanding of critical community issues that must be addressed now.

Our proposal focuses on several areas to form win-win relationships in our local community. It addresses effective cross-sectoral collaboration making it possible to overcome challenges that are too difficult or complex for one organisation or sector to address alone.

Our proposal promotes an ‘Eco-Share’ concept by combining resources and competencies in innovative ways, enabling local government and supporting community organisations to enhance delivery of their objectives through leveraging and capitalising on complementary strengths and capabilities.

We believe that the Utopia Research Institute has the most appropriate mix of essential services that will provide the entire community with a full range of mental health programs and services.

I look forward to speaking on behalf of the Utopia Research Institute on Saturday.
