Factors Influencing Online Mental Health Forum Use for People from Ethnic Minority Backgrounds in the United Kingdom: A Mixed Methods Study
People from ethnic minority groups vary in their use and experiences of mental health forums. Whilst forums can offer a valued accessible space for anonymous sharing of often stigmatised experiences, pathways to access require trusted figures to promote their availability, and forum designers and moderators to co-create culturally sensitive spaces with people from these target communities
Navigating Hypersexuality in Bipolar: Insights from a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis of Reddit Posts
Bipolar is a severe mental health condition affecting at least 2% of the global population. Clinical observations indicate that individuals in elevated mood states, such as mania or hypomania, are more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviours, including hypersexuality. Characterised by an excessive preoccupation with sex, hypersexuality can lead to serious consequences such as sexual assault, unplanned pregnancies, and relationship breakdowns. …

A qualitative exploration of the contribution of blue space to well‐being in the lives of people with severe mental illness
The majority of research into the mental health benefits of blue space (outdoor places where water is a central feature) has focussed on the associations between neighbourhood exposure to these spaces and population‐level incidence of unipolar depression or anxiety disorder. There has been little exploration of the therapeutic use of blue space by those navigating bipolar, schizophrenia or other psychotic conditions. Knowledge arising from such a…

What is important to service users and staff when implementing suicide-focused psychological therapies for people with psychosis into mental health services
Whilst all stakeholders viewed a suicide-focused therapy as valuable for people experiencing psychosis, they also recognize that enabling successful implementation of such interventions will require additional training, flexibility, and resources to existing services
Caring for a Family Member with Psychosis or Bipolar Disorder Who Has Experienced Suicidal Behaviour: An Exploratory Qualitative Study of an Online Peer-Support Forum
Digital platforms, including online forums, brief interventions such as safety planning, and interagency crisis models, hold the potential to meet carers' needs in this context. However, further research is required to investigate the effectiveness and implementation of these approaches
Wilderness as therapeutic landscape in later life: Towards an understanding of place-based mechanisms for wellbeing through nature-adventure activity
Using the Public Involvement Impact Assessment Framework to assess the impact of public involvement in a mental health research context: A reflective case study

PiiAF was developed in response to a well-documented growth in Public Involvement in health research in the United Kingdom that demands a more sophisticated evidence base to demonstrate its impact. DESIGN: …
