Definition
Percentage of the regional population who received one or more low intensity episodes of care provided by an organisation or an individual service provider commissioned by the PHN. Low intensity services include cognitive behavioural therapy and other evidence based interventions that may be delivered by health professionals or non-mental health workers who have received specific training and work in a supervised arrangement with a qualified mental health professional. These services should be easy to access, high quality services that people can access directly, with or without needing a referral, and are generally provided at a lower cost than more traditional forms of mental health treatment. Services can be provided individually or in groups either face-to-face, by telephone or online. Particular groups in the region may be targeted for low intensity services.
