Mental health services, intellectual disability and re-offending
A mix of tailored mental health, disability and community services can substantially reduce the rate at which people with intellectual disability return to prison.
These important new findings come from research by Dr Julian Trofimovs, undertaken for his PhD. Julian’s research used a unique dataset that combines information from justice, health and disability organisations across NSW.

Avoiding deaths in mental health wards - about our research
Please note: This episode talks about issues that some people may find distressing. Please take care while listening
In this episode, Dr Pramudie Gunaratne talks about research by the 3DN team that looked at how many people were dying on NSW mental health wards and what they were dying from.
The research shows that almost a third of deaths that occur in mental health wards could be potentially avoidable. The researchers use their findings to come up with recommendations on how to avoid deaths on our mental health wards.
