MH-CoPES Resources
The MH-CoPES Manual
The MH-CoPES Manual is designed to assist all levels of staff and Consumer Workers within each Local Health District (LHD).
The Manual provides a suite of resources to assist with, and enhance, the implementation of the MH-CoPES Framework within a Local Health District. It is divided into sections that focus on each Step of the MH-CoPES Framework, and include a number of relevant templates and ‘Frequently Asked Questions' for each Step.
The information contained in the Manual is a guide, and resources can be adapted to suit the specific needs of each service.

- Placed in a brochure stand at your service
- Enlarged and displayed as a poster.
