Parent to Parent is working with Country to Coast, formerly PHN to deliver The Healthy Together ProjectGoes to external website in a new tab.
The aim of the project is to deliver better health outcomes and experiences for people with intellectual disability and their families. It will improve the knowledge and skills of primary health care professionals in providing health care to people with intellectual disabilities.
P2P staff and members of Loud and Clear Qld share their personal stories and learnings, which feature in a series of learning modules.
The PCEP pilot project included:
- helping Primary Health Networks (PHN) support health professionals in caring for people with intellectual disability
- practical training and resources for general practitioners (GPs) and other primary health care professionals to improve their capability in this area
- health literacy resources for people with intellectual disability, their carers and family members.
