Measuring the outcomes of support provided to people after a suicide or other sudden bereavement
Systematic collection of outcome measures within suicide bereavement support is vital in building the sector's evidence base. However, there is currently limited understanding around the appropriate and sensitive use of outcome measures. Following the scoping review methodology, a literature review was undertaken to map how programs and interventions that assist individuals bereaved by suicide or other sudden, traumatic deaths gather outcome meas…
Models of Supervision Relevant To Peer or Lived Experience Workforce Within Mental Health
This scoping review explores the alignment between clinical supervision models and the values underpinning Peer Work within the mental health sector. Peer Work, grounded in lived experience and principles of empowerment, mutuality, and recovery, has become an integral component of mental health services in Australia and internationally. Despite its growing presence, Peer Work lacks a defined supervision framework tailored to its unique ethos. Usi…
Lived Experience Participation in Suicide Prevention Activities in Australia, a Scoping Review
Reflections on the Social Work in Schools Program
In rural and remote areas of Australia, the social determinants of health continue to influence the health and wellbeing of children and young people. In existence for a decade, the Social Work in Schools (SWiS)program offers opportunities to support the wellbeing needs of school students. However, to date, it is unknown how the SWiS program is perceived by school leaders over time. In the qualitative study reported here, semistructured interview…
Measuring the outcomes of support after suicide
Measuring the outcomes associated with suicide bereavement support is complex, which may have contributed to, and is further compounded by, a lack of guidance in the literature. Implementing outcome measures in suicide bereavement support requires a thoughtful and informed approach; a key consideration is ensuring that the tools used are appropriate and that the process adheres to best practices. In response to the limited guidance in the literat…
Measuring What Outcomes Matters Most to People When Accessing Suicide Postvention Support
Funding for suicide postvention services, which provide support after a suicide death, has increased in Australia and globally. This rise accompanies a need to demonstrate outcomes of support. However, articulating and quantifying these outcomes presents ethical and logistical challenges. Funders' priorities may differ from those of service users. To discern the value and explore effective measurement of postvention outcomes, focus groups were co…

Suicide prevention and intervention education in Australian social work qualifying courses
Suicide is complex and multifactorial, with social, cultural, and economic components, exacerbated by inequalities, social injustice, marginalization important contexts, along with the immediate presenting crisis.Social workers are uniquely equipped for suicide crisis support, employed across clinical and non-clinical settings.However, how social workers access pre-service suicide education and training at the university qualifying level is poorl…
Operationalizing the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to build and support the lived experience workforce in direct health service provision
Different Ways of Being, Doing and Telling in Qualitative Research
Traditional qualitative inquiry research methods exhort us to look for the 'good' story tellers who use metaphors to describe their experiences, emotions, and events. This privileges abled-bodied individuals, meaning that without full individual accessibility for people with disability is not achieved. The objective of this paper is to present a case study on inclusion of research participants who live with deafblindness. This case study posits w…
Key issues, challenges, and preferred supports for those bereaved by suicide
For many, suicide bereavement is challenging. Postvention responses are few and evidence to inform them is lacking. Eighteen postvention experts completed an online survey regarding the key issues, challenges, and supports available to people bereaved by suicide. Participants were asked to identify the issues, then rank them in terms of importance at key times during the first 2 years after death, with navigating grief, managing relationships, an…
Effectiveness of Community-Based Outreach Interventions for Individuals Living with Mental Ill-Health in Australia
Objective. Mental ill-health is a common occurrence globally and represents a significant burden of disease. In Australia, the development and improvement of programs that connect individuals earlier in their mental ill-health journey is a national health priority. However, there are current informational gaps on community-based initiatives and their associated mental health outcomes. This review aimed to systematically identify, assess, and anal…
Lost from the conversation
Media as a public health messaging tool can shape community perception. In missing persons’ investigations Police utilise media to assist in location and recovery of absent people. This study, of Australian media in 2019, revealed that the statistical evidence of who goes missing, and returns, revealed that is not replicated in news articles. Content analysis of 2,400 media items highlighting a disconnect between statistical rate of return from b…
Understanding Emergency Department Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives of Caring for Individuals in Suicidal Crisis
Help seekers regularly present to Emergency Departments (EDs) when in suicidal crisis for intervention to ensure their immediate safety, which may assist in reducing future attempts. The emergency health workforce have unique insights that can inform suicide prevention efforts during this critical junction in an individual's experience with suicide. This paper explores the treatment and care delivery experiences of 54 health professionals working…
Dreading Yet Hoping
The trauma of having a family member missing is commonly described as an ambiguous loss where the finality of the loss is not realized, as is experienced with a death. There is uncertainty due to the trauma of the absence and subsequent police investigation, leading to physical and emotional impacts for the aftercare of those left behind. There are 850 unidentified human remains and 2,600 long-term missing persons cases in Australia. The Australi…
Evidence of co-creation practices in suicide prevention in government policy
Although the government at Federal, State and Territory levels appear to support collaborative practice through partnership and co-design, this study suggests a narrow approach to the theoretical model for co-creation at a policy level. Implications for both research and practice are discussed
Strange eyes’
As the COVID‐19 pandemic emerged, instances of anti‐immigrant racism and more specifically anti‐Asian racism appeared to increase across Canada. Recognising the need to further explore and document racism and its link with the COVID‐19 pandemic, this paper explores the impact of COVID‐19 on the experiences of racism and discrimination. Using neoracism as a theoretical framework, the research is set in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, a city that ha…
A Psychoeducational Support Group Intervention for People Who Have Attempted Suicide
Psychoeducational groups have been used to address many health needs. Yet, there are few such options available for people who have attempted suicide. This study presents preliminary findings from an open trial of Eclipse, an 8-week closed, psychoeducational group for people who have attempted suicide. It examined the effectiveness of the Eclipse program in reducing suicidal ideation, depressive symptoms, perceived burdensomeness and thwarted bel…
Making Qualitative Research Inclusive
Qualitative research necessitates the representation of, and engagement with, people who the research is designed to assist. Disability research not only seeks to explore populations where lived experience of disability is distinct, it is also a field where researchers themselves have lived experience. This paper reflects on the methodological innovations between the researcher, their supervisory team and the co-created opportunities to collect q…
“At Least until the Second Wave Comes…”
In the UK, tweets around COVID-19 and health care have primarily focused on the NHS. Recent research has identified that the psychological well-being of NHS staff has been adversely impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate narratives relating to the NHS and COVID-19 during the first lockdown (26 March-4 July 2020). A total of 123,880 tweets were collated and downloaded bound to the time period of the…
Canadian’s attitudes toward immigration in the Covid-19 era
Canada depends on immigration for economic and demographic growth. But fears of COVID-19 and attempts to control its spread have resulted in governments closing borders and/or restricting immigration. Concurrently, increased discrimination against people from Asia, and immigrants in general, has been observed. Based on a national survey, this paper examines whether Canadian’s attitudes toward immigration have shifted with the pandemic. Results su…
Fears, Reassurance, and Milestones
Preterm birth (birth <37 completed weeks' gestation) is common, affecting 10.6% of live births globally (nearly 15 million babies per year). Having a new baby admitted to a neonatal unit often triggers stress and anxiety for parents. This paper seeks to explore experiences of preterm birth via Twitter. The intermingling of COVID-19 restrictions and World Prematurity Day allows for an understanding of both the additional stresses incurred as a con…
‘An all-consuming cumulonimbus of pain’
2019 marks the twentieth anniversary of the 1999 landmark publication Ambiguous loss: learning to live with unresolved grief by Emeritus Professor Pauline Boss. The book, and its exploration of uncertainty, has invited ambiguous loss into the grief counselling space, as a way to provide specialised care for families and friends of missing people. This scoping review aims to examine the breadth of literature regarding counselling interventions fro…
Carers’ Motivations for, and Experiences of, Participating in Suicide Research
(1) Background: First-hand accounts of lived experience of suicide remain rare in the research literature. Increasing interest in the lived experience of suicide is resulting in more opportunities for people to participate in research based on their personal experience. How individuals choose to participate in research, and their experience of doing so, are important considerations in the ethical conduct of research. (2) Methods: To understand th…
What is the Co-Creation of New Knowledge? A Content Analysis and Proposed Definition for Health Interventions
Co-creation of new knowledge has the potential to speed up the discovery and application of new knowledge into practice. However, the progress of co-creation is hindered by a lack of definitional clarity and inconsistent use of terminology. The aim of this paper is to propose a new standardised definition of co-creation of new knowledge for health interventions based on the existing co-creation literature. The authors completed a systematic searc…
Ethnonationalist networks and transnational opportunities
This article presents an empirical case study of a type of nonstate actor largely overlooked in the IR literature on transnationalism: the diaspora or transnational ethnic actor. Building upon findings from contentious politics or social movements scholarship, I highlight the nexus of domestic and transnational politics by demonstrating how actors form ethnic networks and utilise transnational opportunities to pursue political goals in various st…

Missed Opportunity
I had every right to be there
This article examines findings from a qualitative study exploring the experiences of young adults with disabilities regarding their perceptions of interpersonal discrimination on public transport in two Australian states. Interpersonal discrimination by members of the public included contests for accessible seating, receiving unwanted physical assistance, bullying and intimidation. Participants reported that transport staff engaged in verbal abus…

Social Work in Rural New South Wales School Settings
Children and young people in rural Australia experience disadvantage compared with metropolitan counterparts, with low educational attainment and disengagement from schooling being linked to poorer health outcomes. Schools are an existing contact point between individuals and health services. However, these health services are often overburdened and have limited scope to address broader social issues and teaching staff are focused on achieving cu…

Providing support following exposure to suicide
Exposure to suicide and the associated impacts for those left behind can be long lasting and traumatic. Literature has predominantly examined the experience of suicide and impact from the perspective of those closest to the deceased-with studies primarily focused on kin relationships. Appropriate and timely support delivered by skilled professionals, through the provision of postvention support, has been suggested as a way to reduce morbidity and…
The Origins of Global Civil Society and Nonterritorial Governance
This paper comes out of some research that I was able to support using my Canada Research Chair. Dr. Wayland and I were interested to explore several questions about global civil society. We wanted to review the various ways in which it is defined, and whether these definitions had varying implications for whether global civil society represented a novel phenomenon or was continuous with more long-standing processes. In these respects, we join ot…

Holding on to hope
When a person goes missing, those left behind mourn an ambiguous loss where grief can be disenfranchised. Different to bereavement following death, hope figures into this experience as a missing person has the potential to return. This review explores hope for families of missing people. Lived experience of ambiguous loss was deconstructed to reveal responses punctuated by hope, which had practical and psychological implications for those learnin…

How is Participating in Suicide Prevention Activities Experienced by Those with Lived and Living Experiences of Suicide in Australia? A Qualitative Study
People with a lived experience of suicide are commonly included within suicide prevention research. This includes participation in conferences, policy development, research and other activities. Yet little is known about the impact on the person in the long term of regularly sharing one's experience to different audiences and, in some cases, to a schedule not of your choosing. This qualitative study asked twenty people to share their reflections …
