Youth leaving out-of-home care are vulnerable due to their situation and can experience issues such as mental and physical concerns, lack of social support and poor educational outcomes.
Together with Give Me Five, Foyer Central/Uniting Care customized a series of welfare-oriented survey questions that were sent to the young people residing in the community to identify mental health wellbeing challenges and behavioral concerns amongst them.
The campaign has so far been successful. Foyer Central/Uniting Care has found Give Me Five to be extremely useful as a key instigator for counselors to isolate issues troubling individuals before they escalate, resulting in self-harm or violence towards others. It is also helping them monitor ongoing issues amongst the cohort.
Know how our mental wellness solutions have made a difference in their lives.
The results from the qualitative data collected in our initial study highlighted that GM5, as a web- based mental health screener tool, provided great utility, as both the parents and the therapist found it easy, concise, and quick to use. Parents reported much better ability to engage with their children and progress in being more able to talk through experiences.
Our experience with Give Me Five in 2021 was the it provided helpful profiles of groups of students and of students individually and it really helped in providing targeted support and intervention. Through the screening we were able to identify several children with high/critical concerns that enabled us to take steps to early intervention.
The GM5 platform is a unique tool aligned with the Stepped Care 2.0 (SC2.0) framework, emphasizing data triangulation to engage family, peers, and community in campus wellness. This will help identify students who might not seek care otherwise and support data-driven decisions on the best mental health options for them.
The Give Me 5 team was highly professional and really took the time to understand our business requirements. Their experience and consultative process ensured that the approach we implemented was customised and focused on our individual participants' needs.
I would definitely recommend it to other veterans as it's a good way to check-in with how you're going because the questions ask things that you don't necessarily think of on your own.
Mental distress is significantly more prevalent among indigenous children and adolescents compared to their non-indigenous peers. The EBS community of parents, teachers, and professionals feel limited in identifying and prioritizing signs of distress before acute behaviors develop.
