Abstract

Some communities have implemented their own strategies to address mental health problems following COVID19. Local responses to community need are grounded in contextual knowledge and use existing resources. This project will investigate two different interventions delivered on the South Coast of NSW. The research will provide evidence about ways the interventions ameliorated crises. The outcomes will include recommendations for place-based. culturally safe approaches to mental health care.
