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…
Lived experience educators challenging professional privilege in social work student supervision
The participation of people with lived experience in social work research is increasingly expected but must be authentic to address epistemic injustice. This article reflects on the co-production process used by a doctoral student, two lived experience educators and a lived experience academic and documents the transformative learning derived from opening up out-of-sight professional practice to scrutiny. We propose that, guided by critical socia…
The integration of service user perspectives in social work student supervision
Social work students' experience of supervision during practice learning or field education has a significant influence on their development. The value of service user participation in social work education, practice and research is increasingly acknowledged, however there is little consideration of its role in the supervision of students. Similarly, while service users are obvious stakeholders in practice education, this is seldom recognized. Th…
Bearing Witness
Social work student supervision during field education is a mandated requirement where students review their activities and learning in the workplace with field educators (FEs). Inevitably service users will be discussed in supervision but will have little or no opportunity to represent their perspectives during sessions. In order to explore how service user perspectives might be integrated into supervision, this qualitative study examined the pa…
Service Users in Social Work Student Supervision
While the participation of service users in social work education and practice has gained momentum recently, little attention has been paid to the implications for student supervision in field education or practice learning. This scoping review examines the nature of, and extent to which, international literature recognises service users in social work student supervision. Sixty-seven relevant abstracts that potentially linked service users to so…
Peer work in Australian mental health policy
The inclusion of peer work within mental health policy offers potential for lived experience expertise to shape the construction of, and subsequent responses to, mental health ‘problems’. However, increasingly, scholars and activists are highlighting limits to such inclusionary practices. We explore these tensions through a critical analysis of problem representations including peer workers within Australian mental health policy. Drawing on Mad s…

You Just Treat me like a Human Being’
The personal/professional dichotomy, present within dominant notions of professional boundaries, is an ongoing source of tension within social work. Peer workers, given their positioning as both service users and workers, are uniquely placed to contribute to pre-existing efforts in unsettling this dichotomy. Our analysis, informed by dialogic sharing and theorising with fifteen peer support workers, alongside post-humanist and critical mental hea…
Inclusion as Assimilation, Integration, or Co-optation? A Post-Structural Analysis of Inclusion as Produced Through Mental Health Research on Peer Support
In the last 20 years, research on the inclusion of peer support within mental health settings has burgeoned, paralleling the broad adoption of service user inclusion within policy as a moral imperative and universally beneficial. Despite the seemingly progressive impetus behind inclusion, increasingly peer support workers talk of exhaustion working within mental health systems, the slow rate of change to oppressive values and practices, and ongoi…

Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Children in Mae Sot and Bangkok
This article reports on a longitudinal case study, which included site visits in Thailand from 2014 to 2015, and participant follow-up to mid-2018. It documents the lived experience of children from Syria, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Myanmar in two different locations in Thailand: Bangkok and Mae Sot (a district close to Thailand-Myanmar border with a long history of economic migrants and refugees from Myanmar). It documents perspectives of…
Evaluation of a West Australian residential mental health respite service
Family members continue to be the predominant providers of support, care and accommodation for loved ones with mental health issues, and empirical studies suggest that accessing mental health respite can be helpful for both carers and consumers. However, the availability of, and access to, this respite in Australia is far from optimal. Major issues have also been identified such as low utilisation, the inappropriate and inflexible nature of servi…
Family inclusion in mental health services
BACKGROUND: Contemporary mental health policies require family inclusion in the design, implementation and evaluation of services. MATERIALS: This scoping review considers the factors in mental health practice which either mediate or promote family inclusion. A wide range of factors are reported to obstruct family inclusion, while a smaller number of studies report that meaningful family inclusion rests on a partnership approach which values the …
Identifying the Needs of Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Children in Thailand
This research reports on the under-researched needs of urban refugee and asylum-seeking children living in precarious circumstances in Bangkok, Thailand. Further, it takes an unconventional approach and utilizes child-centred research methods to privilege the perspectives of children. It then compares children’s perspectives with those of adults who are their parents/guardians and key informants who are service providers and policy advocates. Qua…
Social Network Analysis and Social Work Inquiry
Understanding and positively impacting social networks is core to social work practice and research. As a research method, social network analysis provides an important mechanism for mapping various types of networks as well as the relationships and exchanges between network actors. This has relevance to Australian human and health services given the social policy context that currently emphasises and requires improvements in the integration of s…
Effective mine risk education in war-zone areas—a shared responsibility
The focus of this paper is effective health education and promotion in the field of mine awareness, or what has more recently been re-titled 'mine risk education'. According to the United Nations, mine risk education comprises educational activities that aim to reduce the risk of injury from landmine/unexploded ordnance (UXO) through raising awareness and promoting behavioural change and includes public information dissemination, education and tr…
