Bi The Way Things Pan Out: Life Story Interviewing and the Mental Health of Bi and Pan + Australians
This study aims to explore how plurisexual participants (i.e., those who experience attraction to multiple genders) understand their experiences during adolescence and early adulthood related to their sexual orientation, including their perspectives of societal influences on mental health. Utilizing the Life Story Interviewing technique, interviews were conducted in 2024 with 21 young adults (18–30 years old) who identify as plurisexual (e.g., Bi…

Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 11 SGD st…

Research has repeatedly highlighted the importance of social connectedness, social capital and secure attachment relationships in mitigating post-disaster me…
Pretty Bi for an Ally: A Critical Autoethnography
Bisexual people experience negative messaging about their identity from broader society, as well as from within the LGBTIQA + community. The period of adolescence can be particularly tumultuous for those navigating their identity amongst this messaging. Drawing on Ozalas's (Citation2020) and Suarez's (Citation2022) studies, this study utilizes a critical autoethnographic approach and aims to explore cis-normative and heteronormative perspectives …

Conceptualisation of Personal Recovery and Recovery-Oriented Care for Youth: Multisystemic Perspectives
There is a substantial body of evidence on the construct of personal recovery and the value of recovery-oriented mental health care worldwide. Personal recovery refers to the lived experience of those with mental illness overcoming challenges and living satisfying lives within the limitations of mental health symptomology. Conceptualisations such as CHIME have primarily relied on adult frameworks. With growing concerns about youth mental health, …
Utilisation of Digital Applications for Personal Recovery Amongst Youth with Mental Health Concerns

A majority of those who do seek help are using digital mental health supports. Subsequently, efforts to promote youth mental health have focused on the use of digital applications as a means of overcoming barriers related to factors including stigma and lack of available services.

Examining how flexi schools support the psychological wellbeing of marginalized youth: A longitudinal study
There exists little quantitative data on longitudinal life outcomes, such as employment and wellbeing, for marginalized students who reconnect with learning via flexible learning. This article reports on longitudinal associations between satisfying psychological wellbeing at school and quality of life after school. Forty-one past students of a flexible learning campus in a regional Australia City, aged between 18 and 31 years responded in an onli…
Emerging spheres of engagement: The Role of Trust and Care in Community-University Research
Community-engaged research takes place at a complex social site that has both a history and a future as well as encompassing the project activities of the researchers and community members. We argue that a crucial methodological aspect of undertaking such research is the development of trust relationships between researchers and community. We propose that for each research project, this relationship can best be understood as a 'sphere of engageme…

Waiting, power and time in ethnographic and community-based research
Waiting is one of the most common phenomena in ethnographic and other community-based research. Nevertheless, it remains under-explored in academic writing about the theoretical and methodological aspects of fieldwork. While waiting time often allows new data or information to emerge, we argue that such times have a significance independent of knowledge outcomes. We review various conceptions of waiting: as a time for self-awareness; the use of e…
Psychometric properties of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) in a sample of Australian adolescents
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) using an Australian adolescent sample (n = 135). The MLQ is made up of two, five-item subscales – Presence (how meaningful one considers his/her life to be) and Search (a desire to discover more or new meaning in one’s life). A convenience sample of 135 high school students aged 12–18 years (M = 15.18 years, SD = 1.42) completed the questionnaire. Scale ana…
