The Ed-LinQ Structure and Function The Framework document emphases the importance of good mental health for children and young people to succeed in education and learning. It includes data to support the 'collaborative' approach which lies 'at the core of the Ed-LinQ Initiative' and the need for early detection and intervention.

In February 2014, ConNetica was contracted by the Queensland Mental Health Commission (QMHC) to undertake a review of the Queensland Ed-LinQ Initiative.
The purpose of the project was to develop and implement a framework to evaluate the Ed-LinQ Initiative, including reviewing the associated evidence. This project was conducted from mid-February un...

... The Queensland Ed-LinQ Initiative is one example of collaboration at the communication level. This programme aims to strengthen links between school support workers and child and youth mental health services, facilitating appropriate referrals and information sharing (Mendoza et al. 2014). In regional Queensland, however, opportunity to collaborate is impeded by distance and low staffing numbers in education and health. ...
... The delivery of iCARE-R took a teamed facilitation approach, as suggested by Askell-Williams and Murray-Harvey (2013), where trained facilitators worked together with the classroom teachers. This strategy parallels that advocated by Weist et al. (2012) and reinforced by Mendoza et al. (2014); that is, effective mental health promotion involves strong communication links between educators, welfare workers, and mental health nurses. ...
Mental health is a leading health issue facing young people today, particularly those living in rural and regional areas. Although public policy supports schools-based health promotion, there is limited evidence of the efficacy of such programmes and the elements that enhance successful implementation in rural and regional areas. A study was designed to evaluate a mental health promotion programme, delivered collaboratively by nurses, guidance officers, and teachers, to 850 young people from 23 rural and regional high schools in Queensland, Australia. The study aims were to determine what effect the intervention had on young peoples’ resilience, coping, and self-efficacy, and to understand the implications of delivering the programme in the regional Queensland school setting. Students completed self-report measures of self-efficacy, resilience, and coping strategies pre- and postprogramme, as well as at 8-week follow-up. We found that after programme completion there was a significant increase in self-efficacy and in the number of positive coping strategies used by the participating young people. Qualitative data indicated that participants benefited from the collaboration between health and education sectors; that is, nurses, guidance officers, and teachers delivered the programme together in ways that were perceived to be respectful of young people and effectively discussion-based, and engaging.
El I Plan Andaluz para la Promoción de la Autonomía Personal y Prevención de la Dependencia (PAP&PD 2016-2020 ) es probablemente una de las estrategias más ambiciosas que ha lanzado la Consejería de Igualdad, Políticas Sociales y Conciliación de la Junta de Andalucía en los últimos años, en colaboración transversal con 9 Consejerías. Necesita utilizar la escala AIL de 7 niveles para el seguimiento del impacto de la implementación, en cada una de las 186 actuaciones que se han desarrollado de sus 6 líneas prioritarias. El póster expone los logros alcanzados durante la I bienal 2017-2018 del Plan. PREMIADO por el Comité Científico como uno de los 3 MEJORES PÓSTER SELECCIONADOS PARA PRESENTACIÓN ORAL.

Objective:
To evaluate the impact of the Plan for the promotion of personal autonomy and prevention of disability in Andalusia (2016-2020) in 13 public administrations during the first year of its implementation; and to analyse the usability and feasibility of the impact assessment ladder used.
Method:
The Plan addresses the promotion of personal autonomy and the prevention of disabilities and dependencies through a multisectoral approach. It is structured in strands or lines of work, objectives and actions that have been assessed through the Adoption Impact Ladder (AIL). The analysis of the face validity, feasibility and inter-rater reliability of the impact assessment ladder was carried out in 30 actions of the Plan that were rated by 20 experts from the 13 ministries and public agencies involved in the Plan, and an external rater.
Results:
176 actions and programmes were launched in 2017. Of these, 67.2% were implemented during the first year. Only one of the 16 objectives had no action initiated during the first year. Moreover, 7 out of 15 objectives implemented were fully multisectoral involving more than three Regional Ministries. The face validity, feasibility and inter-rater reliability of the AIL were good (κ: 0.72).
Conclusions:
This Plan has provided a novel framework to coordinate a broad range of proposed policies and actions within the public administration of Andalusia. For the first time, a multisectoral impact analysis has been conducted providing an effective guide for monitoring, planning and setting public priorities in health, social services, ageing and disabilities.
