Peer Work and Stigma Reduction in Australian Mental Health Policy
Peer workers are increasingly included as part of mental health policy approaches to stigma, reflecting ongoing imperatives to include lived experience within mental health policy and practice. Using a post-structural analysis of Australian mental health policy, we critically examine the effects of such inclusion on dominant enactments of peer work and stigma. We find that mental health policy predominantly produces stigma as a problem of individ…
A framework for disability lived expertise
This article introduces a framework for disability lived expertise, aiming to address the undervaluing of contributions from people with disability in crucial sectors such as policy, services, rehabilitation, education and research. It distinguishes between disability lived experience, which is the personal and individual experience of disability, and 'lived expertise', which builds on personal experience through critical reflection and engagemen…
Disability lived experience and expertise
While the inclusion of 'disability lived experience' is increasingly advocated for in research, policy and practice, its conceptualisation and application present significant challenges. This article, a collaborative effort by 16 individuals with diverse disabilities and expertise, critically examines the limitations inherent in the current usage. We argue that prevailing interpretations of 'lived experience' presume subjectivity and over-emphasi…
Advancing a rights-based mental health system
Digital futures in mind
Digital mental health technologies and services are here. More are coming. Such technologies and services present both risks and opportunities. At their best, they may enhance the most humane, communal and caring parts of our social systems and communities. At their worst, they may reinforce reductionist approaches to distress and crisis, increase surveillance and control, as well as extracting data and wealth from people seeking care. In this pa…
Cautions on digital mental health
Words that hurt
Despite a series of education programs and initiatives, mental health stigma persists across the community. This is due, in part, to the law’s silence on whether mental health stigma should be considered vilification. This article analyses current Australian anti-discrimination and anti-vilification protections, finding that the latter needs enhancing to include protections against mental health vilification
Preventing and responding to harm
Mental health systems are built on imperfect foundations. Rather than reflect the “dark old days” of psychiatry, mental health systems, still, commit wide‐spread breaches of mental health and human rights laws. During such time, mental health regulators have failed to adequately enforce mental health laws and respond to harms in ways that are transparent and include the community. The Victorian mental health system, with the Mental Health Complai…
Consumers' experiences of rights-based mental health laws
Keeping human rights in mind
Despite aims to create a progressive inter-institutional dialogue about human rights, the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities 2006 Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Vic). [Google Scholar] (Vic) (Charter) has largely fallen flat. This becomes clearest when examining the failure of governments, regulators and services to comply with and properly consider rights when providing public mental health services. By failing t…
Regulatory oversight, mental health and human rights
Regulatory oversight is crucial to ensure human rights are protected in closed environments. In Victoria, evidence continues to surface that suggests oversight of the public mental health system is failing consumers. There are, however, several lessons for regulators on how to ensure consumers enjoy equal protection of the law
