Abstract	From mid 1998 to mid 1999, The Australian Network for Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention for Mental Health (Auseinet) provided funding and intensive support for eight agencies that provide services to young people to reorient an aspect of their service to an early intervention approach. The agencies developed a range of tailored, potentially sustainable early intervention strategies. These included educating staff and management about early intervention, developing resources, incorporating early intervention principles into agency policy, fostering informal and formal partnerships with other agencies and the broader community, and allocating resources so that the strategies could be sustained. This report describes the results of a follow-up evaluation of the Auseinet reorientation of services projects. A capacity building framework is used to illustrate the extent to which the strategies developed in the reorientation projects have been sustained or expanded. Further, the report demonstrates that the projects have achieved many of the activities, process indicators and outcome indicators proposed in the National Action Plan for Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention for Mental Health 2000. The report also presents a compiled list of predictors of sustainability, identifies barriers to reorientation and presents some lessons learned from the reorientation process. A summary of the original reorientation projects is presented first to provide a context for the follow-up evaluation. (Contains 22 references and 13 tables.) (GCP)
