Abstract
This paper reports on how private practitioners were engaged in a rural community in an intentional team to provide a comprehensive lifestyle program for "hard to treat" patients with physical and mental health problems. A field trial of a 12-week program for patients with depression or anxiety plus other chronic disease was delivered by a team of allied health practitioners. Significant improvements in mental health as measured by DASS and SF36 were achieved. Utilizing community resources effectively can lessen the burden on other aspects of the health care system.
