  • Models of Supervision Relevant To Peer or Lived Experience Workforce Within Mental Health

    Open AccessLiam Hodge, Tania Pearce et al.ARTICLECommunity Mental Health Journal2026References: 3

    This scoping review explores the alignment between clinical supervision models and the values underpinning Peer Work within the mental health sector. Peer Work, grounded in lived experience and principles of empowerment, mutuality, and recovery, has become an integral component of mental health services in Australia and internationally. Despite its growing presence, Peer Work lacks a defined supervision framework tailored to its unique ethos. Usi…

  • Reflections on the Social Work in Schools Program

    Carrie Maclure, Tania Pearce et al.ARTICLEAustralian Social Work2025References: 2

    In rural and remote areas of Australia, the social determinants of health continue to influence the health and wellbeing of children and young people. In existence for a decade, the Social Work in Schools (SWiS)program offers opportunities to support the wellbeing needs of school students. However, to date, it is unknown how the SWiS program is perceived by school leaders over time. In the qualitative study reported here, semistructured interview…

  • Evidence of co-creation practices in suicide prevention in government policy

    Open AccessTania Pearce, Myfanwy Maple et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Although the government at Federal, State and Territory levels appear to support collaborative practice through partnership and co-design, this study suggests a narrow approach to the theoretical model for co-creation at a policy level. Implications for both research and practice are discussed

  • A Psychoeducational Support Group Intervention for People Who Have Attempted Suicide

    Open AccessMyfanwy Maple, Sarah Wayland et al.ARTICLECommunity Mental Health Journal2022Cited by: 1References: 26

    Psychoeducational groups have been used to address many health needs. Yet, there are few such options available for people who have attempted suicide. This study presents preliminary findings from an open trial of Eclipse, an 8-week closed, psychoeducational group for people who have attempted suicide. It examined the effectiveness of the Eclipse program in reducing suicidal ideation, depressive symptoms, perceived burdensomeness and thwarted bel…

  • What is the Co-Creation of New Knowledge? A Content Analysis and Proposed Definition for Health Interventions

    Open AccessTania Pearce, Myfanwy Maple et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Co-creation of new knowledge has the potential to speed up the discovery and application of new knowledge into practice. However, the progress of co-creation is hindered by a lack of definitional clarity and inconsistent use of terminology. The aim of this paper is to propose a new standardised definition of co-creation of new knowledge for health interventions based on the existing co-creation literature. The authors completed a systematic searc…

  • Providing support following exposure to suicide

    Open AccessMyfanwy Maple, Kathy McKay et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2019Cited by: 1References: 3

    Exposure to suicide and the associated impacts for those left behind can be long lasting and traumatic. Literature has predominantly examined the experience of suicide and impact from the perspective of those closest to the deceased-with studies primarily focused on kin relationships. Appropriate and timely support delivered by skilled professionals, through the provision of postvention support, has been suggested as a way to reduce morbidity and…

  • Social Work in Rural New South Wales School Settings

    Myfanwy Maple, Tania Pearce et al.ARTICLEAustralian Social Work2019Cited by: 2References: 3

    Children and young people in rural Australia experience disadvantage compared with metropolitan counterparts, with low educational attainment and disengagement from schooling being linked to poorer health outcomes. Schools are an existing contact point between individuals and health services. However, these health services are often overburdened and have limited scope to address broader social issues and teaching staff are focused on achieving cu…

    Open AccessAlice Knight, Myfanwy Maple et al.ARTICLEHealth & Justice2018

    BACKGROUND: Young people who engage in multiple risk behaviour (high-risk young people) such as substance abuse, antisocial behaviour, low engagement in education and employment, self-harm or suicide ideation are more likely to experience serious harms later in life including homelessness, incarceration, violence and premature death. In addition to personal disadvantage, these harms represent an avoidable social and economic cost to society. Desp…

  • The Role of Social Work in Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention

    Myfanwy Maple, Tania Pearce et al.ARTICLEAustralian Social Work2017

    Social workers frequently encounter those affected by suicide. However, the social work voice on suicide has been relatively absent from the literature. This scoping review aimed to map the contribution social work research has made to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. Two hundred and forty-one papers on suicide authored by social workers were identified. Results demonstrate that explanatory research remains the primary mode of s…
