We are currently in the pilot phase - i.e. first round of packages. We are so excited to be starting out a new venture!

Our team members are passionate young advocates who have spent years working in the advocacy sector across various projects, programs, trainings etc. and who are now taking the leap into something new!

We imagine that this initial pilot will be a total of 100-150 boxes.

We have developed an intensive evaluation plan and intend to conduct surveys and collect feedback that we can use to guide getting and sharing proof of efficacy. We are also closely working alongside researchers who are experienced in program evaluation.

We welcome any and all feedback!

Yes!

We have collaborated with several organisations throughout Western Australia and Australia and are proud to have many of them as ongoing supporters of our work.

The ward/ facility that we are working with can choose just about everything - what they want, when they want it, and in what quantity.

This approach allows us to better meet the safety guidelines and to tailor our deliveries for the people actually in treatment at that time. It also means that even when wards don't want to accept many items they can still accept a few and maybe some of our resources around self-advocacy and coping skills.

Our CEO and founder proudly identifies as disabled, autistic, having mental ill-health, LGBTQIA+ and more. The team of volunteers forming the Integrity Army also include folks who have Lived Experience with homelessness, AOD challenges, gender diversity, disability, and - of course - all of us have Lived Experience of mental ill health.

Whilst our pilot runs will be more generalised, they will still be delivered to people with intersectional needs. When we get more established, we intend to create specifially tailored variations of packages/ programs and to do co-design and consultation with people across these groups.

The Integrity Initiative team puts the packages together ourselves - the mental health facility is not required to do anything after they meet with us to develop what they want other than to physically hand out the packs.

This whole process is estimated to only require a few meetings and some general communications.

As for delivery of the packs themselves, whether or not we actually meet with the patients will depend on what the ward decides is best.

No! We offer our services for free.

If you do feel so inclined, we always appreciate donations... however there is no expectation!
