Complex Trauma Survivors’ Experiences of Services and Support for Mental Health
In exploring survivors’ experiences of the wide range of services across settings that they sought for mental health support, this review synthesises experiences, facilitators and barriers encountered to help-seeking in adult survivors of complex trauma. We searched multiple databases including Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Applied Social Sciences Index, Web of Science, and PROQUEST.…
Cultural Adaptations to the Assessment and Treatment of Trauma Experiences Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups
A higher prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) exists among racial and ethnic minority groups who experience trauma; however, little is known about cultural adaptations of trauma assessments and interventions, or whether those adaptations meet cultural needs. This systematic review examined the effectiveness and experiences of culturally adapted trauma assessments and interventions for adults from racial and ethnic minority groups. …
Journeys and experiences accessing trauma support for Black adults with complex trauma
Despite growing evidence depicting the importance of trauma-informed practices within mental health services, little is known about Black groups who have experienced complex trauma and their unique experiences of accessing and receiving mental health support. Black communities are disproportionately exposed to various forms of trauma, including systemic and interpersonal violence, with elevated rates of trauma related conditions such as PTSD. In …
Pragmatic, feasibility randomized controlled trial of a recorded mental health recovery narrative intervention
The NEON Intervention is feasible and acceptable. Significant refinement of the NEON Intervention and trial processes is required to personalize and ensure applicability to carers. Further feasibility testing is recommended prior to a definitive trial
Predictors of engagement with peer support
Background: A range of evidence for the effectiveness of one-to-one peer support in mental health services is emerging. Levels of engagement with peer support vary with limited studies showing few individual participant characteristics predicting engagement. Implementation factors that might predict engagement have not been considered. Methods: Data were analysed from the intervention arm of the ENRICH trial of one-to-one peer support for dischar…
Service use preceding and following first referral for psychiatric emergency care at a short-stay crisis unit
BACKGROUND: Internationally, hospital-based short-stay crisis units have been introduced to provide a safe space for stabilisation and further assessment for those in psychiatric crisis. The units typically aim to reduce inpatient admissions and psychiatric presentations to emergency departments. AIMS: To assess changes to service use following a service user's first visit to a unit, characterise the population accessing these units and examine e…
Typology of Mental Health Peer Support Work Components
The employment of mental health peer support (PS) is recommended in national and international mental health policy, and widely implemented across many countries. The key components of PS remain to be identified. This study aimed to develop a typology of components involved in one-to-one PS for adults in mental health services. A systematised review was performed to establish a preliminary long list of candidate components, followed by expert con…
Survivor‐led guidelines for conducting trauma‐informed psychological therapy assessments
BACKGROUND: Psychological therapy assessments are a key point at which a person is accepted into a service or referred on. There is evidence of service users experiencing harm, dropping out of services and potentially experiencing poor outcomes because of inadequate assessment practices. Approaches to assessment tend to be developed by individual services, with a lack of research identifying what makes a good assessment. METHODS: This survivor-le…
Balancing closeness and distance through identity enactment
Whilst encounters in psychology are typically experienced relationally, qualitative dyadic research in psychology is relatively rare. This study used qualitative dyadic research to understand psychological therapy assessments, exploring how experiences are actively created through situated, relational encounters. Seven dyads participated in qualitative semi-structured interviews, predominantly from services for trauma survivors. Thematic dyadic a…
Bringing together coproduction and community participatory research approaches
BACKGROUND: A growing literature explores the coproduction of research knowledge. Barriers to coproduction in mental health research have been identified, especially for the people from marginalized communities. There is an established body of participatory research that has potential to inform coproduction in mental health research. OBJECTIVES: To explore and articulate how learning from community participatory approaches to research enable barr…
A systematic review of qualitative studies of adults’ experiences of being assessed for psychological therapies
Co-producing Randomized Controlled Trials
In the light of the declaration "Nothing about us without us" (Charlton, 2000), interest in co-production, and coproduced research is expanding. Good work has been done establishing principles for co-production (Hickey et al., 2018) and for good quality involvement (Involve, 2013; 4Pi, 2015) and describing how this works in practice in mental health research (Gillard et al., 2012a,b, 2013). In the published literature, co-production has worked we…
Children and Young People “In Care” Participating in a Peer‐Mentoring Relationship
The aim of this study was to explore how a 1-year peer-mentoring relationship contributed to change in young women "in care." Twenty semistructured, one-to-one interviews were conducted with mentors (n = 11) and mentees (n = 9) recruited from two different London local authorities. Participants' accounts were interpreted through a developmental lens to uncover developmental aspects and locus mechanisms through which transformative change took pla…
Knowledge and expertise in care practices
Our research examines how different forms of knowledge and expertise are increasingly important in caring for people experiencing mental illness. We build on theoretical developments regarding multiple ontologies of knowing about illness. We examine how experiential knowledge of mental health problems, learned by being subject to illness rather than through objective study, is enacted in mental healthcare teams. We focus on Peer Workers (PW), ind…
A paradigm shift
Trauma-informed approaches emerged partly in response to research demonstrating that trauma is widespread across society, that it is highly correlated with mental health and that this is a costly public health issue. The fundamental shift in providing support using a trauma-informed approach is to move from thinking ‘What is wrong with you?’ to considering ‘What happened to you?’. This article, authored by trauma survivors and service providers, …
Developing and Using Vignettes to Explore the Relationship Between Risk Management Practice and Recovery-Oriented Care in Mental Health Services
There is a lack of literature evaluating the development and use of vignettes to explore contested constructs in qualitative health care research where a conventional interview schedule might impose assumptions on the data collected. We describe the development and validation of vignettes in a study exploring mental health worker and service user understandings of risk and recovery in U.K. mental health services. Focus groups with mental health w…
Tackling the problem of teenage pregnancy in looked‐after children
Teenage pregnancy is associated with adverse health and social outcomes, even after adjusting for prior disadvantage, and is recognized as a major public health issue. Rates of teenage pregnancy in the UK are among the highest in E urope. Interventions introduced in the past decade to address the problem, such as improved sex and relationships education in schools, have been accompanied by a fall in teenage pregnancy rates in the UK . However, th…
Engaging communities to improve mental health in African and African Caribbean groups
Over the last decade, Britain has undergone reforms to promote engagement in local structures of governance. These reforms have encouraged the promotion of active citizenship and have been central to the government's public service modernisation agenda. This article presents the findings from a study evaluating a pilot outreach intervention which adopted a community engagement model to address the mental health needs of African and African Caribb…
Peer Worker Roles and Risk in Mental Health Services
Patient and Public Involvement in the Coproduction of Knowledge
Patient and public involvement in health research is increasingly well established internationally, but the impacts of involvement on the research process are hard to evaluate. We describe a process of qualitative data analysis in a mental health research project with a high level of mental health service user and carer involvement, and reflect critically on how we produced our findings. Team members not from research backgrounds sometimes challe…
Self-care in mental health services
Producing different analytical narratives, coproducing integrated analytical narrative
Involvement of people who use health services as researchers is increasingly widely practised internationally, but methodological enquiry into how involvement impacts on research findings is lacking. A qualitative study of the experiences of people detained under the UK Mental Health Act (1983) used secondary analysis to explore the extent to which mental health service user researchers produced different interpretive narratives to conventional u…
‘What difference does it make?’ Finding evidence of the impact of mental health service user researchers on research into the experiences of detained psychiatric patients
Background Interest in the involvement of members of the public in health services research is increasingly focussed on evaluation of the impact of involvement on the research process and the production of knowledge about health. Service user involvement in mental health research is well‐established, yet empirical studies into the impact of involvement are lacking. Objective To investigate the potential to provide empirical evidence of the impact…
Winning the peace
While peacebuilding at a grassroots, non‐governmental level is increasingly expected to play an important role in postwar peace settlements, the effectiveness of such projects can be inhibited by the lack of a sound theoretical basis. Conflict Resolution theory advocates particular theoretical understandings of the relationship between identity and conflict as informing peacebuilding, yet these are shown to be in disjunction with empirical observ…
