AIM: This qualitative descriptive study a…

The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between school nurse (SN) staffing levels and student outcomes in the state of Georgia. METHODOLOGY: Descriptive statistics were used to understand SN staffing practices across the state of Georgia. Linear reg…
You Can Live With It or You Can Die”
Nationally, diabetes is the eighth leading cause of death. The crisis deepens in South Carolina, where the state ranks sixth in adult diabetes prevalence. The burden is even greater in rural counties. Understanding storytelling themes and modalities is a novel approach in crafting culturally tailored messaging for the prevention and management of diabetes. This qualitative study examined the experiences of diabetes through the lens of Southern Go…

Staff Perspectives on the Meaning of Recovery-Oriented Mental Health Care and its Implementation in Prevention and Recovery Care (Parc) Services in Victoria
Recovery orientation is a vital feature of contemporary mental health models of care such as Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) services. Despite the importance of PARC services in providing a recovery-oriented alternative to a stay in hospital for mental health consumers in Victoria, Australia, there are limited studies exploring the views of staff about these services. This study was part of a larger body of work that investigated the appropri…
Exploring the lived experience of receiving mental health crisis care at emergency departments, crisis phone lines and crisis care alternatives
BACKGROUND: Mental health crisis care includes emergency departments (EDs), crisis phone lines and crisis alternatives. Currently, there is an overreliance on EDs to provide mental health crisis care, with evidence that responses are often inadequate to meet the needs of people experiencing mental health crises. However, the complexities of how individuals experience crisis care across the varying contexts of EDs, crisis phone lines and crisis al…
Disengagement Processes Within an Early Intervention Service for First-Episode Psychosis
Triangulating experiences of engagement across young people, caregivers, and clinicians allows for a comprehensive understanding of what precipitates service disengagement. This study demonstrates how early intervention services for first-episode psychosis are meeting the needs of young people and caregivers, and what areas warrant improvement. The needs of service users and patterns of disengagement vary. In turn, services must be flexible and r…
Changing considerations of matching foster carers and children
Prevention and Recovery Care Services in Australia
Aims: Community-based residential alternatives to hospitalization are an emerging service model. Evidence for their acceptability and effectiveness is promising but limited. Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) services are one such residential model, offering short-term subacute treatment and care (usually between 7 and 28 days). PARC services in Victoria, Australia, are designed to support consumers with severe mental illness to either avoid a p…
Consumer Perspectives of Safewards Impact in Acute Inpatient Mental Health Wards in Victoria, Australia
Background: Inpatient mental health wards are reported by many consumers to be custodial, unsafe, and lacking in therapeutic relationships. These consumer experiences are concerning, given international policy directives requiring recovery-oriented practice. Safewards is both a model and a suite of interventions designed to improve safety for consumers and staff. Positive results in reducing seclusion have been reported. However, the voice of con…
Prevention and Recovery Care Services in Australia
Background: Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) services are relatively new sub-acute residential services that have supported people with mental ill-health in Victoria since 2003. Operated from a partnership model between non-governmental agencies and clinical mental health services, PARC services integrate intensive recovery-focused psychosocial input with clinical mental health care. Aim: To describe and contrast the 19 PARC services operating…
Interventions to Mitigate Bias in Social Work Decision-Making
Uses of strength-based interventions for people with serious mental illness
BACKGROUND: For the past 3 decades, mental health practitioners have increasingly adopted aspects and tools of strength-based approaches. Providing strength-based intervention and amplifying strengths relies heavily on effective interpersonal processes. AIM: This article is a critical review of research regarding the use of strength-based approaches in mental health service settings. The aim is to discuss strength-based interventions within broad…
Prevention-enhancing interactions
There is a growing interest in English-speaking jurisdictions, including Australia, North America, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, about the prevention of sexual abuse perpetrated by children against other children. The aim of this review was to identify opportunities for research, policy and practice which could enhance the prevention agenda relating to the perpetration of sexual abuse by children through conducting a Critical Interp…
The intersectional turn in feminist theory
The authors of this response constitute a small, informal reading group of academics and doctoral students interested in engaging with intersectionality. Doctoral students were being urged to tackle intersectionality in their theoretical development, while academics recognised that their earlier feminist theoretical roots were rapidly becoming overwritten. A reading group met our need for sharing articles, ideas and critical analysis. After readi…
Uses and abuses of recovery
An understanding of recovery as a personal and subjective experience has emerged within mental health systems. This meaning of recovery now underpins mental health policy in many countries. Developing a focus on this type of recovery will involve transformation within mental health systems. Human systems do not easily transform. In this paper, we identify seven mis-uses ("abuses") of the concept of recovery: recovery is the latest model; recovery…
Working around a contested diagnosis
This discourse analytic study sits at the intersection of everyday communications with young people in mental health settings and the enduring sociological critique of diagnoses in psychiatry. The diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is both contested and stigmatized, in mental health and general health settings. Its legitimacy is further contested within the specialist adolescent mental health setting. In this setting, clinicians f…
