This chapter provides a descriptive overview of the four programs evaluated, and the activities they are required to undertake under the funding agreements:

• The Link-Up Program
• The BTH Program
• SEWB RCs
• The Mental Health Program.

For each program, the following issues are discussed:

• location (and for Link-Up and BTH, funding) of the services
• in the case of Link-Up, history of the program
• funding conditions
• performance indicators
• national guidelines.

All references in this chapter and elsewhere in the report of the contractual conditions required of the services refer to the standard 2006-2007 funding agreement between OATSIH and the services funded under the four programs (different schedules to the standard contract apply to the programs). Schedule A applies to the SEWB RCs and the Mental Health Service Delivery Projects, and Schedule B applies to the BTH and Link-Up Programs.
