Wellbeing takes place
Despite growing recognition that wellbeing and recovery are entangled with everyday environments, research in mental health and/or substance use has largely focused on individual experiences or decontextualized indicators, offering limited insights into how social-material conditions of place may enable or constrain recovery processes. This gap calls for empirical studies that explore how wellbeing and recovery are enacted within the contexts of …
Mattering in Danish out-of-home care
This study aims (1) to deepen understanding of the concept of mattering through the experiences of youth in out-of-home care (OOH), and (2) to illuminate youths’ experiences of OOH through mattering. Drawing on qualitative semi-structured interviews with young people in Denmark recently placed in OOH and using reflexive thematic analysis, the study examines how feeling valued and adding value are lived across arenas central to participants’ lives…
Initial Co‐Design Development of a Questionnaire to Measure Patient Preferences in a Danish Mental Healthcare Setting
BACKGROUND: Despite decades of quality improvement efforts in mental healthcare, patient preferences remain insufficiently integrated into care planning and system design. Although person-centered care strives to align services with patients' most valued preferences, current tools for measuring those preferences often fall short. Embedding co-design approaches-where patients and other stakeholders collaborate as equal partners in tool development…
Exploring Research Ethics Through Clients’ and Therapists’ Experiences in a Multiperspective Study on Couple Therapy and Violence
Researching participants’ experiences through a qualitative, multiperspective design presents distinct ethical challenges, particularly when including both partners and their therapist during ongoing couple therapy where violence is a central concern. Situated within a publicly funded therapeutic context, this study examines these challenges through interviews with eight clients and five therapists, which were analyzed using Interpretative Phenom…
Associations between perceived discrimination and health
There is a clear association between multiple reasons for PD and low scores in mental and/or physical health, suggesting a cumulative influence. To address this issue effectively, prevention efforts should be implemented at both the national level and within local public health strategies
The Billie project
This study explores young people’s perceptions of citizenship and recovery for individuals with severe mental health challenges using the story completion method. In this qualitative approach, participants were invited to complete an open-ended story stem about a fictional character, Billie, whose journey of recovery unfolds through their narratives. We analyzed 47 stories, with lengths ranging from 65 to 598 words ( M = 253 words), applying both…

Action Research for the Development of Welfare
The Nordic welfare model, known for its universality and commitment to equality, has evolved over time to address the social needs of its citizens through benefits such as healthcare, education and social security. Despite its strengths, the model faces challenges, including increasing social inequality, demographic changes and increased immigration. These challenges call for new solutions that can sustain the welfare state in the adaptation to c…
From ‘Master and Servants’ to ‘Equal Partners’ in a Health Community
Complex health and welfare organisations struggle to align resources and integrate services for mental health patients. In Western Norway, 16 leaders across four local public organisations participated in this action research study. Providing services for joint service users, they were mandated to make necessary changes towards resource alignment and service integration. The purpose of this study was to learn how these leader experienced the proc…
Psychological Sense of Community in Recovery Processes of Emerging and Older Adults
Across the world, governments are struggling to help people recover from substance use problems. Due to their particular risk factors, two age groups are of special interest to public health: emerging adults and older adults. Psychological sense of community (PSOC) is a key dimension in their recovery. Yet, to develop context‐sensitive and effective strategies tailored for these groups, there is a need to understand their discourses of PSOC as si…
Devoted Despite It All
In Norway, child welfare responsibilities are divided between state‐run (SCW) and municipal (MCW) agencies. This study explores MCW practitioners' experiences of implementing a therapeutic model tailored by SCW for MCW to aid adolescents with severe and co‐occurring problems and their families. In this qualitative study, 12 MCW practitioners participated in semistructured interviews about the implementability of the therapeutic model. The intervi…
A qualitative study of children’s experiences with school-based divorce groups led by teachers in Denmark
New interventions are offered to children of divorced parents in Danish schools. Establishing conversation groups can be seen as part of this overall effort to increase pupils’ well-being. This new practice leads to new professional challenges when teachers facilitate group processes and call for in-depth studies of children’s own perspectives on their participation in these interventions. This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork and asks …
The Teacher’s Wellbeing as a Binary Asset When Working with Newly Arrived Immigrant Pupils
The influx of immigrants has led to increased cultural and ethnic diversity in classrooms, presenting unique challenges for teachers who work with pupils with varying linguistic, social, and cultural backgrounds. This paper examines the impact of these challenges on the wellbeing of teachers who work with newly arrived immigrant pupils. It is argued that a lack of knowledge and skills in this area can be educationally, socially, and psychological…
Living needs a landscape’
The deinstitutionalization of mental health institutions has enabled service users to live in the community and search for what Duff coins 'enabling places.' These places were explored through walking interviews, in which service-users led the way. This analysis revealed features which made places promote liveable lives: places help people explore, places help people stand out, places give people responsibilities, and places dare people. An adver…
Mattering, wellness, and fairness
Whereas the behavioral and health sciences have been mainly concerned with the private good, there is an urgent need to understand and foster the collective good. Without a coherent framework for the common good, it will be extremely difficult to prevent and manage crises such as pandemics, illness, climate change, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and inequality, all of which affects marginalized populations disproportionally. While frameworks…
In what ways do emerging adults with substance use problems experience their communities as influencing their personal recovery processes
Applying the multiple psychological sense of community concept (MPSOC), this study explored how emerging adults with substance use problems experience the influences of various senses of community and communities on their personal recovery processes. Semi‐structured interviews with 21 emerging adults from different urban contexts in Norway were analysed using a collaborative, seven‐step, deductive, and reflexive thematic approach. MPSOC is shown …
Part II
Recovery, a prominent concern in mental health care worldwide, has been variously defined, requiring further clarification of the term as processual. Few studies have comprehensively addressed the nature of recovery processes. This study aims to explore the nature and characteristics of experiences of recovery as processual. The method used is a form of qualitative meta-synthesis that integrates the findings from 28 qualitative studies published …
Immigrants’ Experiences on Integration While Attempting to Access the Labour Market
(1) Background: The challenge of immigrants and their integration into adopted countries is a key topic for the global field of social work. However, there is a paucity of research on immigrants’ lived experiences in gaining access to the labour market. Thus, this study examines how immigrants in Norway experience integration while in the process of gaining access to the labour market. The prevalent notion of integration achieved through gainful …
Making Come-Alive and Keeping Un-Alive
Health interventions delivered online (self-guided web-based interventions) may become more helpful through a person-to-program "working alliance." In psychotherapy, the working alliance signifies a therapeutically useful client-therapist relationship and includes an emotional bond. However, there exist no theories of how program users relate to online programs, or that explain a person-to-program bond theoretically. Addressing this gap, we condu…
“Nourishing communion”
This study, the third in a series of three, draws on a broader Norwegian research project exploring the phenomenon of support for young persons with mental health issues. The aim was to explore and explicate the sense of “nourishing communion”, as a somewhat neglected aspect of support. Fourteen Norwegian young adults, aged 18-25, were interviewed about their experiences of support. Data was analyzed using van Manen’s hermeneutic-phenomenological…
Getting Change-Space
A promising tool for bettering people’s health is eHealth (or “mHealth”) programs: fully automated, web-based health interventions. However, we know surprisingly little about eHealth’s working mechanisms. One possible working mechanism is that program users benefit from a collaborative “relationship”—a “working alliance”—with the program. Although evidence support the existence of a person-to-program alliance it is unclear if and how it influence…
To Navigate the Normative and the Not-Normative Family Therapists Negotiating Their Professional Identities with Parents Whose Children are Placed in Public Care
Keeping balance”, “Keeping distance” and “Keeping on with life”
A dominant storyline of divorced families in prolonged conflict is children portrayed as victims without agency. How does this fit with how children position themselves in prolonged post-divorce conflicts? In this qualitative study we pose the following research question; how do children position themselves to challenges in post-divorce family conflict, and how is family conflict positioning children? This paper draws on in-depth interviews with …

This study aimed to obtain students’ first-person perspectives of their experience of positive teacher–student relationships (TSRs) in upper secondary school. We also explored their experiences of qualities of TSRs concerning students’ mental health and dropout from upper secondary school. We used a qualitative and participative approach, whereby key stakeholders were included as co-researchers. Seventeen students participated in semi-structured …
