The Western Australian State government has recently announced a redirection of funds for child mental health intervention. Funding has been removed from the Andrew Relph School programme, which provided out of school education and intervention for children who were unable to attend mainstream schools due to mental illness. The funds have been redirected to in-school intervention and prevention.
Prevention programmes are absolutely essential and have found to be effective. Training in relaxation, resilience and positive thinking are excellent ‘immumisation’ techniques against the future development of debilitating mental health problems like depression and anxiety disorders. Prevention is definitely a more preferable option than intervention when it comes to depression, anxiety and panic attacks treatment.
Having said this, there must be a balance. Early intervention and prevention programmes cannot assist those who already suffer from such conditions. Surely funds must also be directed to assist those children who are already accessing a successful and effective programme that aims to help children rejoin the mainstream education system in a healthier state of mind. What is to become of those students who cannot attend school due to depression or anxiety disorders? If they are unable to attend school, they are unable to access school-based programmes!
If you have concerns about the funding of programmes for students with mental health conditions in Western Australia, please contact your local member of parliament to discuss this unjust redirection of funding. If you live elsewhere feel free to comment below or talk to your own local member to ensure that the educatational rights of mentally ill persons are guaranteed.
