Translational Research and Social Innovation (TReSI) led by Distinguished Professor Lynn Kemp is part of the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Western Sydney University. TReSI is an Implementation Science hub of expertise supporting the translation of evidence into sustainable practice for relationship-based health and social services. We generate evidence to promote child, youth and family health and wellbeing, working with our partners to successfully apply this evidence to their programs of work.
A flagship program of TReSI is the Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home Visiting (MECSH) program, an evidence-based, child focused, nurse-led intervention supporting families with young children during the sensitive periods of development.
MECSH originated in South Western Sydney as an outreach program for families in need of extra support and is now a global program with MECSH-based program sites operating in some health services within Australia, the UK, Channel Islands, USA and South Korea.
The MECSH® program is a registered trademark of Western Sydney University and was originally developed at UNSW Sydney.
