The DBI Programme received tremendous praise from visitors at a prestigious international mental health collaborative.
The International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL) focuses on improving mental health and addictions services and organises systems for international innovation sharing, networking and problem solving across countries and agencies. Its overall aim is to provide better outcomes for people who use mental health and addiction services and includes experts in this field from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the USA and Sweden.
DBI Programme Manager, Kevin O’Neil said: “The exchange provided the opportunity to hear about related Programmes, challenges and opportunities in other nations, but also gave us all the chance to come together and reflect on the progress we have made through the collaborative culture that has been created through the DBI work.
“It underlined our collective commitment to build connected compassionate support and our international visitors were very impressed and inspired by the DBI work and the difference it is making.”
