How do you Eat and Elephant?

This DVD was a collaborative project with a group of people living with mental illness who receive support through Neami North East.  The group discussed illness, wellness, getting on with life, work, family, what helps support them, children and living in the community.  Some have chosen to be filmed, others have not.  All wanted to make a difference to the lives of others living with a mental illness.  All wanted to give people hope.

This film will be of interest to people experiencing a mental illness, their family and friends, people working in the mental health sector as well as the broader community.

Swinburne University’s Institute for Social Research has developed two new policy papers examining the implementation of programs that provide housing and support to people discharged from psychiatric hospitals in two Australian states.

The first paper,From Psychiatric Hospital to Supported Housing: The Neami Community Housing Program, Melbourne, Australia, 1995 - 2008, developed by Meg Carter, describes the implementation of a program established by Neami in Victoria,  that assisted patients from Larundel, Mont Park & Plenty Hospitals to transfer into supported housing in the community.Case Studies in Deinstitutionalisation: Implenting Supported Housing Program in Two Australian States, by Meg Carter, Terry Burke and Sue Moore takes the Neami Community Housing Program as a point of reference against which to examine the implementation of a program called Returning Home in South Australia. Returning Home, established in 2005, is a program set up to assist patients of Glenside Hospital (the last stand alone psychiatric hospital in SA) to transfer into supported housing in the community.

This work was funded by an Australia Research Council Linkage Grant with Neami and Supported Housing Ltd as the industry partners.

The papers are available at the Swinburne Institute for Social Research website; www.sisr.net
