A socio-ecological framework for mental health and wellbeing

Welcome to the second issue of 2017. The papers in this issue cover the full spectrum of mental health promotion, prevention and intervention which I trust will be of interest to you. Without specifically intending to, many of the papers in this issue denote different elements of a socioecological model, which recognises the dynamic interrelatedness among personal and environmental factors, including the family, school, community and mental health agencies. Within such a framework, even if not used explicitly, is a repeated recommendation across the papers presented here, for collaboration and coordination across sectors including mental health, education and the broader community.
