Unpacking sociopolitical determinants of suicide in networked movements
Protest suicides often trigger similar acts, which complicate suicide prevention efforts during political crises. While contagion is frequently attributed to imitation following exposure, public perception and response remain poorly understood. Examining the lived experiences of exposure to protest suicides can illuminate how individuals react to these events, why they react as they do, and where they derive resilience. This study investigates ex…
The practice of social movement unionism
In this Theory into Practice article we discuss the collective agency of Hong Kong medical workers in COVID-19 in the context of social movement unionism (SMU). In particular, the article utilises Dhatt’s framework defining factors influencing health social movements (2019). We focus on the way the pro-democracy movement underpinned and shaped the five-day strike by 7000 healthcare workers that forced the government to close the Hong Kong–China b…
Changing school cultures for mental wellbeing in Hong Kong
School-based programs are recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote mental health for young people. However the effectiveness of such programs varies, and there are multi-level challenges to embedding mental health education in schools. Further, critical scholarship has focused on the ways in which such programs can contribute to neoliberal goals, rather than empowering students meaningfully. Our research used focus group inte…

Despite the implementation of various national legal frameworks and global policies such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to combat violence against young people, family violence against young people is prevalent, especially in WHO African region. Although, research on child maltreatment, specifically, for young children has received considerable attention in Ghana recently, there is little research on adolescents' experiences of s…
The double hazard in recovery journey
BACKGROUND: The recent interest in recovery from mental health problems has not meaningfully addressed the perspectives of ethnic minorities. AIM: To contribute to the discussion of recovery-oriented service with a study on the experience of Chinese people using UK mental health services. METHODS: In-depth life history interviews were carried out with the users. The qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: Four themes emer…
Recovery, Hope and Agency
Hope is considered crucial to mental health recovery. However, the manner in which social inequalities shape individuals’ meaning of hope has received little attention. Based on a close analysis of the recovery journeys of six Chinese service users in the UK, this paper explores the diverse meanings of hope among service users from non-dominant cultures. Illustrative stories are selected from in-depth life history interviews conducted with twenty…
Reflecting on Social Movement Unionism in Hong Kong
By analysing the 2013 Hong Kong dockworkers’ strike, this article explores how workers, precariously situated in the world’s freest economy, fight for decent wages with the support of civil society. It is argued that the trade union movement in Hong Kong, a Special Administration Region of the People’s Republic of China, is a typical example of social movement unionism. It suggests that the rise of social movement unionism in Hong Kong was a prac…
