Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the reach and impact of the New South Wales' School-Link initiative. METHOD: Postal surveys, focus groups and interviews were conducted. RESULTS: School-Link has established a strong partnership between health and education, raised the awareness of child and adolescent mental health problems and contributed in the areas of prevention and early intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Building on the momentum and the foundations that have been established is the next challenge for this initiative.
