Arts-based film can provide an effective medium for teaching evidence-based suicide prevention strategies to informal supporters, particularly young people supporting peers
Working in (and between) art and health
Art can have a positive impact on health and well-being and be efficacious in health research and dissemination processes. However, creative, arts-based approaches to research and knowledge translation sometimes have a precarious toehold in the spheres of both health and art. In this paper, we report on failures, misunderstandings, difficulties and ethical tensions associated with work undertaken in, and between, art and health. Using collaborati…
Suicidal Emotions, Motivations and Rationales in Australian Men
Suicide has a devasting and far-reaching effect on our communities. In developed countries, most people who die by suicide are male. Understanding men's mental health and what they experience in a suicidal state is key to preventing future attempts. Our paper explores how a group of 37 men in Australia describe the leadup to their suicidality. Underpinned by interpretive phenomenological analysis, interview transcripts were examined for phrases t…
Understanding Protective Factors for Men at Risk of Suicide Using the CHIME Framework
Suicide is a global problem, ranking among the leading causes of death in many countries across the world. Most people who die by suicide are "under the radar", having never seen a mental health professional or been diagnosed with a mental illness. This article describes the protective factors for men experiencing suicidal thoughts, plans, and/or attempts who are "under the radar". Using in-depth qualitative interviews, we aimed to understand sta…
Tragedies, Fates, Furies and Fuels
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15 to 44, with fifty to sixty per cent of individuals who die by suicide 'flying under the radar', dying in this way without receiving formal mental health care or treatment. This paper explores how people bereaved by suicide interpret and narrate the lead-up to, act and aftermath of a male family member who died by suicide. We used qualitative semi-structured interviews to explore how na…
Positive Organisational Arts-Based Youth Scholarship
This methodological article argues for the potential of positive organisational arts-based youth scholarship as a methodology to understand and promote positive experiences among young people. With reference to COVID-19, exemplars sourced from social media platforms and relevant organisations demonstrate the remarkable creative brilliance of young people. During these difficult times, young people used song, dance, storytelling, and art to expres…
Edge of the Present
Depression and suicidality are characterized by negative imagery as well as impoverished positive imagery. Although some evidence exists supporting the link between positive imagery and enhanced mood, much work needs to be done. This study explored the impact of an immersive virtual reality experience (Edge of the Present-EOTP) on an individual's mood, state of well-being, and future thinking. Using a 10-min mixed reality experience, 79 individua…
