Organisation Summary

Open Dialogue Centre enables the widespread adoption of the Open Dialogue approach in Australia. Our goal is to enable community-based and evidence-informed adoption Open Dialogue, adapted to meet the needs of different communities, in partnership with schools, mental health, youth and social services.

It is a way of supporting people experiencing mental health difficulties by elevating their voices and choices, creating dialogue and connection and creating compassion and continuity through a social network of support. This includes friends, family, people in the person’s community who they trust and know, and local services.

The Open Dialogue Approach ensures people are connected to a network of support in their community.
It creates the conditions for people to thrive through:

  • Agency and voice – supporting recovery pathways.
  • Facilitating connections with family, friends and services.
  • Compassion and continuity in care that leverages community supports.
