ISSUP’s 2026 conference session on intersectoral collaboration explored how health, justice and community services can work together to help people access and stay connected to appropriate support. Presentations from Thailand, Kenya and Ghana, alongside an introduction to deflection, highlighted clearer referral pathways, shared responsibilities, workforce wellbeing and earlier opportunities for care. These themes connected with the wider conference discussions on evidence-informed practice, youth prevention, recovery and faith-based support. Members were encouraged to adapt the learning to their roles and local circumstances, involve people using services in improvements, and assess changes in health, relationships and everyday life alongside service activity. The session recording offers a starting point for further learning, discussion across professions and practical collaboration through ISSUP National Chapters and professional networks.
