Assessment and Brief Intervention Clinics
Assessment and Brief Intervention Clinics (ABICs) are currently in development. Once in place, ABICs will be modelled on the Gold Card approach developed in NSW by The Project Air Strategy for Personality Disorders. The ABICs will be piloted and evaluated in one or two local health network (LHN) locations, with a view to then rolling out across all LHNs if found to be effective in the South Australian context.
Other mental health services
BPD Co works in partnership with all local mental health services.
If someone has never used a government mental health service before, they can get a referral from their GP or telephone 13 14 65.
