Author Description

This report documents the primary health care linkages identified through a case study of the RAISE Wellbeing program in the Northern & Far Western Health Region of South Australia. RAISE Wellbeing is a mental health service partnership of one Aboriginal and three mainstream health care organisations. These organisations are the Pika Wiya Health Service, the Pt Augusta Mental Health Team, the Pt Augusta Hospital and the Flinders & Outback Regional Health Service. Data for the study came from (1) a literature and document review, (2) 23 key informant interviews and (3) a group discussion with the staff from the four organisations using case vignettes.
