This report documents a Brisbane Service Integration Workshop from 7 June 2024 which focused on strategies to mitigate client disengagement in the housing and homelessness sector. It aims to summarise the valuable insights resulting from the session and serve as a resource for sector professionals, supporting their efforts to address client disengagement.
Keynote speaker: Professor Cameron Parsell – School of Social Science – University of Queensland
This workshop and forum was run for anyone working in the Brisbane service system, trying to address the needs of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The session examined disengagement and its possible causes. Through a presentation, panel, and workshop, our guests exchanged ideas on how system and practice-level interventions can and do make a difference.
This event followed the Brisbane Service Integration Deep Dive that was held first to explore future priorities for the Brisbane initiative. Feedback from our exploration of how system-wide interventions could help reduce disengagement will be presented shortly from this session so stay tuned.
