At the moment, our defence mental health workforce--our nurses, doctors, and psychologists--do not actually work with families per se. We have a Defence Community Organisation, DCO, and DCO works closely with the families.
DCO does not work with individual defence force members, but with their families. At the moment, this is a bit of an issue for us, because on the one hand you might have a defence force psychologist working with the member and DCO working with the member's family, and there is not so much of the two agencies working together. At the moment we are looking at ways in which our defence mental health professionals can engage more with the family of the member with the mental health problem and work more closely with DCO.
