Youth Mental Health Summit Report

20/8/2007

 
Back in March 2007, a coalition of youth and mental health services along with the QLD Alliance and YANQ hosted the 2007 Youth Mental Health Summit. The report from the summit is now available for download.

Since the Summit the reference group, YANQ and the QLD Alliance have  been focusing our work on recommendations 1, 2 and 6 contained in the report.  These were:
  • Map existing youth and mental health services in Queensland;
  • Increase resources for the provision of community based youth mental health services; and
  • Fund a Collaboration Project that would aim to build collaborative practice between youth and mental health services.

What is a Peak Body?

7/8/2007

 
Written by Suzi Quixley

“You get the best policy out of an argument.” (Martin Ferguson, Sunday, Channel 9, 2 April 2006)

This paper looks at the variety of influences on government policy making, in order to see the role of peak bodies in the broader social context. Firstly, at the macro level it briefly outlines current approaches to government policy development. Then it explores the micro level – how the community services industry tries to influence policy development through peak bodies and the pressures on the sector to change the role and functions of peak bodies.  It ultimately concludes that peaks must reclaim their rightful place in Australian democracy.

Conservatising Youth Work? Dangers of Adopting a Code of Ethics

7/8/2007

 
Written by Suzi Quixley and Siyavash Doostkhah, in consultation with youth workers in Queensland.

Recent debate over whether, or not, to adopt a Code of Ethics for youth work has been characterised by an uncritical assumption that having a code is a good thing …that it will automatically produce more ethical practice or protect against unethical practice.  This paper challenges these assumptions and puts an alternate point of view about how ethical practice can be achieved in work with young people.
