Equal footing, equal voice
Over the last two decades evidence has been mounting for the effectiveness of arts interventions as public health measures. With mental health services under-resourced and overwhelmed by need, support is growing for a diversity of non-clinical approaches to support individuals in community settings. In their declaration of the organisation's collective vision, the Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council (VMIAC) emphasises the need for diverse …
Women's use of sport as identity-work in managing mental health and trauma
Upheaval and reinvention in celebrity interviews
The disruptions of life in late modernity render self-identity fragile. Consequently, individuals must reflexively manage their emotions and periodically reinvent themselves to maintain a coherent narrative of the self. The rise of psychology as a discursive regime across the 20th century, and its intersections with a plethora of wellness industries, has furnished a new language of selfhood and greater public attention to emotions and personal na…
Hockey becomes like a family in itself
The community-based sports club is often recognised as a key site for the development of social capital. Intergenerational ties and connections to place can generate a strong sense of identity and can foster practices of psychological and material support. In this sense, community sports clubs can also be seen as an extension of the family. We examine social capital and Ray Pahl's 'personal communities' through an ethnographic study of women hock…
Mental Health Social Work
As we write this editorial, the Australian Government has launched a major reform of the Australian mental health system. According to Professor Ian Hickie, one of the National Mental Health Commis
Trust and the Dilemmas of Suicide Risk Assessment in Non-government Mental Health Services
Reducing suicide rates is a national mental health priority as over 2,200 people die from suicide each year in Australia. Increasingly, nongovernment organisations (NGOs) provide services to people experiencing severe and persistent mental illnesses—a significant cohort at risk of suicide. While clinical services are generally seen as the arbiters of risk, little is known of how suicide risk assessments are undertaken in NGOs. This article report…
Introduction
Population ageing is an historically unprecedented global phenomenon. The (World Health Organization [WHO], 2013) reports that, in almost every country, the proportion of people aged over 60 years is increasing faster than any other age group. It predicts that between 2000 and 2050 this proportion of the world's population will double from about 11 to 22% or, in absolute terms, increase from 605 million to 2 billion (WHO, 2013). The ageing of pop…
Managing Risk in Community Care of Older People
Since the mid-1980s, Australian governments have focused on expanding community and home-based services for older people. This has led to increased levels of dependency, vulnerability, and complexity to be managed in the community. Consequently, aged care services have had to develop mechanisms for regulating and managing these increased risks, and risk management has become more central to the practices of professional workers in this field. Thi…
Mental Health Workers Negotiating Risk on the Frontline
Following deinstitutionalisation and the shift to models of community care, mental health practice has become increasingly focused on managing the risks posed by service users. However, the effects of risk management on workers’ professional identities have not been investigated empirically in Australia. Drawing on in-depth interviews with mental health workers from Victoria, Australia, this paper explores the diverse ways in which these workers …
Should the nurse change the light globe
Over the last two decades New Public Management, de-institutionalization and the growth of community care have radically altered the landscape of human service delivery in Australia. As a consequence of these changes, human service agencies have been compelled to develop mechanisms for regulating and managing the risks involved in frontline community care - and the management of risk is now pivotal to the practices of professional workers in this…
Risk, Suffering and Competing Narratives in the Psychiatric Assessment of an Iraqi Refugee
Risk and new exclusions in community mental health practice
Over the past two decades, mental health practice has become increasingly focused on assessing and managing the risks posed by service users. British researchers have made significant advances in studying the consequences of risk management for community-based health and welfare services, but in Australia this field remains largely undeveloped. Drawing on my experiences as a social worker in a Melbourne-based Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team …
From therapy to administration
Crisis Assessment and Treatment Teams (CAT Teams) were established in Victoria, Australia, in 1988 to provide crisis intervention and home treatment as an alternative to hospitalisation for the seriously mentally ill. These teams were set up to prepare for the closure of the large-scale, state-run psychiatric institutions over the following decade. Increasingly, concerns are being expressed in the media over the failure of the new community-based…
