This project will map Cape York health, education and other services to identify availability and linkages; and consult to ascertain integration strategies to promote adolescent mental health and how they can be improved. From this, a Service Integration Toolkit will be developed and progressively refined, with impacts on adolescents' service uptake and satisfaction measured.
