South West Hospital and Health Service has three seeds — three big ideas to guide the future of our Community Mental Health, Alcohol and other Drugs Service.
We would like to understand what these 3 seeds mean to the unique and diverse communities across the South West — and to people like you.
How will my story be used?
How will my story be used?
Your story will be used to learn about the unique experiences of people in communities across the South West on the topic of Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs
Your responses will be kept anonymous.
Quotes from your story will be shared with The project team which will include South West Hospital and Health Service staff, partners, consumers and carers and the team from The Australian Centre for Social Innovation — like me — who are facilitating this project.
At the end of the project, we will keep a text version of each response and delete any original voice recordings.
The app will ask for your permission to learn from and use your responses.
We used an app called VideoAsk to capture stories, but this platform is now closed. You can still email us your story directlySWHHS-3seedsproject@health.qld.gov.au
What sort of story or experience do you want me to add?
It is really up to you what you would like to share with us.

Listening to community
Listening to community
As part of our commitment to learning what works with community, we will be reaching out to a range of staff, community members, service partners and service stakeholders across the South West and asking them to have a conversation about what these three seeds mean to them.
For each of the 3 seeds we are asking the following questions...
What is already working well in your community?
If we planted this seed, what would you like it to grow into?
What might stop this idea from growing?
What is one simple thing we can make happen tomorrow?
We created a 3 Seeds Activity Pack offering three ways to support a conversation. You are welcome to download the pack to support a conversation in your team, community, group — or just to reflect on your own.
