Funded Activity Summary

An Atlas of mental health services available in Canberra for youth up to the age of 25 years was developed as a part of the Youth Navigation Portal Scoping Research to identify and map the existing face to face mental health services in the ACT for young people up to the age of 25 years. The project aims to analyse the provision and geographic distribution of publicly accessible mental health services across different sectors. The atlas utilises the DESDE-LTC instrument (Description and Evaluation of Services and DirectoriEs) for standardised service description, and a GIS (Geographic Information System) to display its result on maps. Service information is combined with socioeconomic characteristics and health-related needs of the local population, alongside data on service availability and care capacity. The Atlas provides a valuable tool for planning, service commissioning, and decision-making, helping to identify gaps and redundancies in care to improve service coordination and access for individuals experiencing mental health illness.
