“By Helping Others, I Help Me”
Ongoing anti-Black racism impacts daily life for many Black people across the globe. The Association of Black Psychologists developed the Sawubona Healing Circles (SHCs) for Black people to have a space to process and heal from anti-Black racism. The objective of this qualitative study was to understand the impact of the SHCs on attendees. Ten adults who self-identified as Black completed qualitative interviews on their experiences participating …
Community-Based Intensive Treatment (CBIT)
Risk Environments of Permanent Supportive Housing for Formerly Incarcerated People with Serious Mental Illnesses
Background: Formerly incarcerated people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) experience the criminal legal system unequally and have elevated rates of recidivism, homelessness, general medical problems, and substance use disorders. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) can be used during reentry, but it has limited resources for addressing community integration, a key component of reentry. PSH are often located in high-poverty environments with incr…
That Was a State of Depression by Itself Dealing with Society”
Despite increased societal focus on structural racism, and its negative impact on health, empirical research within mental health remains limited relative to the magnitude of the problem. The current study—situated within a community‐engaged project with members of a predominantly Black and African American church in the northeastern US—collaboratively examined depressive experience, recovery, and the role of racism and racialized structures. Thi…
The role of substance use treatment in reducing stigma after release from incarceration
Brazilian immigrants in the United States and mental health
BACKGROUND: Brazilian immigrants are becoming a more visible minority and, although different from other Latinos (in a linguistic, cultural, historical, and ethnic sense), are usually either counted as Latinos, not included in the Latino samples or simply overlooked in research studies. It is essential to understand the stress and pressures they undergo and appreciate their singular perspective and culturally-infused experiences to meet their nee…
A Mixed Methods Study Examining Citizenship Among Youth With Mental Health Challenges
Findings from this study may support the development of citizenship-oriented healthcare in Canada
Generativity among people with lived experience of mental illness and distress
48). Phase two participants discussed how the quantitative results resonated with their own experiences; their own generative behaviors, which included ephemeral and concrete forms of generativity; and how engaging in generativity improved their recovery. People with lived experience of mental illness make important contributions to the lives of other people and their communities; and these contributions can support recovery. (PsycInfo Database R…
Peer Support in Behavioral Health care
Las personas de origenes latinoamericanos son menos propensas a comprometerse con el cuidado de salud mental y la participación en servicios de salud mental, comparado a otros grupos raciales y étnicos. Las bajas tasas de participación en servicios de salud mental en parte de la comunidad Latinx en los Estados Unidos (EE.

Tele-Mental Health Utilization Among People with Mental Illness to Access Care During the Covid-19 Pandemic
If You Want to Know About the Book, Ask the Author”
Participatory research, in which people with lived experience of the study phenomenon are involved as collaborators, has been conducted for decades; however, these innovations have struggled to take hold in mental health settings-until recently. The slow uptake of community partnered research in mental health has been unfortunate, especially because this field already suffers from poor community relations, pervasive community mistrust, and racial…
Pushing the Boat Out”
Fragmented inclusion
Community participation is often cited as a crucial component of wellness for people with mental health diagnoses. Few studies explore community participation from the perspective of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) people with diagnoses of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This article describes an in-depth qualitative study with 16 LGBTQ people; 18 social service workers; and 2 key informants in Toronto, Ontario that examined …
The Citizenship Project Part II
This study assessed the effectiveness of an intervention based on a theoretical framework of citizenship on reducing psychiatric symptoms, alcohol use, and drug use, and increasing quality of life for persons with serious mental illness (SMI) and criminal justice involvement. One‐hundred fourteen adults with SMI and a history of criminal justice involvement participated in a 2 × 3 longitudinal randomized controlled trial of a four‐month citizensh…
Peer support among persons with severe mental illnesses
“As much as possible, all servants are chosen from the category of mental patients. They are at any rate better suited to this demanding work because they are usually more gentle, honest, and humane” — Jean Baptiste Pussin, in a 1793 letter to Philippe Pinel 1. Peer support among persons with severe mental illnesses has been largely considered a recent phenomenon, with the first published account of this presumably “new” form of service delivery …
Supported Education for Adults with Psychiatric Disabilities
With medications that improve cognition and advances in knowledge of successful rehabilitative approaches, adults with psychiatric disabilities are increasingly able to pursue desired personal and career goals in their communities. This article focuses on supported education (SEd)-one of the newest psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) models for adults with mental illness. The mission, principles, and service components of SEd are presented, reflect…
Critical Ingredients of Consumer Run Services
Replication of a psychosocial rehabilitation program
This article describes a strategy of organizing community stakeholder groups for the purpose of planning and implementing an innovative mental health program—supported education services for adults with mental illnesses who were interested in pursuing postsecondary education. A common planning framework was used in several different communities within the same state. The framework is described, as well as each community's characteristics and thei…
Supported education as an empowerment intervention for people with mental illness
Many adults with severe mental illnesses experienced disability onset in early adulthood, causing interruption or indefinite postponement of postsecondary education. Supported education programs are a recent innovation to assist in integrating people with mental illness, who desire to resume their postsecondary education in an educational setting where they can experience life as a student rather than as a mental patient. This study reports analy…
