Quarterly Report October – December 2018 About the CRRMH CENTRE FOR RURAL & REMOTE MENTAL HEALTH Quarterly Report October – December 2018 About the CRRMH The Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health (CRRMH) is based in Orange NSW and is a major rural initiative of the University of Newcastle and the NSW Ministry of Health. Our staff are located across rural and remote NSW. The Centre is committed to improving mental health and wellbeing in rural and remote communities. We focus on the following key areas: • the promotion of good mental health and the prevention of mental illness; • developing the mental health system to better meet the needs of people living in rural and remote regions; and • understanding and responding to rural suicide. Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health As the Australian Collaborating Centre for the International Foundation for PO Box 8043 Integrated Care, we promote patient-centred rather than provider-focused Orange East NSW 2800 care that integrates mental and physical health concerns. T +61 2 6363 8444 E crrmh@new castle.edu.au As part of the University of Newcastle, all of our activities are underpinned by research evidence and evaluated to ensure appropriateness and effectiveness. crrmh.com.au @crrmh @crrmhnsw /company /crrmh 2 | Centre for Rural & Remote Mental Health Quarterly Report: October – December 2018 Contents Report Page Director’s Report 4 Snapshot of the Quarter 5 Research 6 John Hoskin Library 7 Connections 8 Communications 10 Online Connections 13 Partnerships 15 Good SPACE 18 Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) 20 Staff News 22 Appendix 23 3 | Centre for Rural & Remote Mental Health Quarterly Report: October – December 2018 Director’s Report Centre Director Professor David Perkins Suicide is a rare event with devastating consequences. It may or may not follow a mental illness or a history of self-harm or suicidal ideation. It hurts families, workplaces, schools and communities, and approaches to its prevention are many and varied. We know about risk factors such as hopelessness, isolation and feelings that "I would not be missed; no one would care or they would be better off without me"'. At the CRRMH we are working to prevent suicide in a number of ways. As an academic, Dr Scott Fitzpatrick is doing basic research using the Coroner’s database examining deaths by suicide in rural communities and looking for factors which are associated with sui cide and might be addressed in trying to prevent suicide. Our Good SPACE program provides training for individuals so that they can identify someone who is not travelling well and draw alongside them to encourage them to seek appropriate help. It addresses to natural fears that “I will only make things worse” which is not the case. Sometimes people come to our courses and need help themselves and our staff are able to link them to services and provide support. We work with colleagues to ensure that rural health professionals have the skills and confidence to work with people who are suicidal which is far more common than most people realise. Through our We-Yarn program, we work with Aboriginal organisations to build trust. This may be followed by a workshop for staff or Aboriginal community members. The process of building trust takes time and is not assisted by short-term contracts in the funding system. This point was emphasised by the Senate Inquiry in Access to and Quality of Rural Mental Health Services which reported in December 2018. In the health system, Primary Health Networks (PHNs) are responsible for leading regional planning to promote mental health and prevent rural suicide. We are currently working with two regions to help the PHNs and associated services in this task. At the community level, we have been working with rural communities which have experienced deaths by suicide and are determined to work together to prevent suicide and promote wellbeing. Supported by the NSW State Mental Health Commission, we are implementing a model of Community Wellbeing Collaboratives which is based on the best available research. This model is based on community convers ations about the local risks and challenges and supports local collaboration to promote wellbeing. This is not about solutions imposed from outside but rather about local coordinated initiatives to create mentally healthy communities. In April we will meet with these communities to share our learnings and to learn from those who are working in innovative way s, crossing traditional organisational and professional boundaries to overcome the circumstances in rural Australia that can lead some to consider ending their lives. Our approach to suicide prevention is described in the position paper which can be found on our website under Reports and Publications. Thanks for your interest in and support of the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health.
