Does Cultural Conceptualisation of Empowerment Matter in Mental Health Promotion? Insights From the Linking Hearts Project
Empowerment has been applied as conceptual guidance for mental health promotion since the 1970s. Evidence from decades of cross‐cultural research has established that empowerment is a socially and culturally constituted construct whose mechanisms vary across different social, political and institutional contexts. However, how these variations shape implementation in practice, particularly in non‐Western settings with distinctive socio‐political c…
Pathways to breaking the cycle of HIV stigma
15) took part in two gender-based, online focus groups. Based on thematic analysis, we identified five overarching themes: (1) daily challenges with HIV stigma; (2) mental and behavioral repercussions of HIV stigma; (3) turning points and positive coping strategies; (4) systemic and intersecting barriers; and (5) changes through education and peer support. Participants described stigma as a chronic and multifaceted experience that detrimentally a…
Empowering Chinese university health service providers to become mental health champions
We found that it is critical to integrate empowerment education into professional training. The process of MHSPs developing their empowerment practice is characterized by their moving from individual to collective empowerment along a continuum, with organizational and collective empowerment taking place in a longer time frame. Experiential learning, empathy education, and critical reflection accelerated the continuous iterative transformative pro…
Association between Mental Health Knowledge Level and Depressive Symptoms among Chinese College Students
This study aimed to explore the association between mental health knowledge level and the prevalence of depressive symptoms among Chinese college students. A cross-sectional study was conducted in six universities in Jinan, Shandong Province, China, and a total of 600 college students were recruited to self-complete a series of questionnaires. The Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (MHKQ) was used to investigate the level of mental health know…
Effects Of HIV stigma reduction interventions in diasporic communities
Racialized diasporic communities in Canada experience disproportionate burden of HIV infection. Their increased vulnerabilities are associated with interlocking challenges, including barriers in accessing resources, migration and settlement stress, and systemic exclusion. Further, people living with HIV (PLHIV) in these diasporic communities face stigma and discrimination in both mainstream Canadian society as well as their own ethno-racial commu…
Queer-friendly nation? The experience of Chinese gay immigrants in Canada
In the past decade, the People’s Republic of China has become the leading source country of immigrants to Canada. However, little is known about the experience of Chinese gay immigrants in Canada. Using narratives collected through a qualitative study, we show the way in which Chinese gay men construct their experience of immigration in Canada. Unlike the national discourse that claims Canada is a friendly nation for members of the LGBTTQ communi…
Changing access to mental health care and social support when people living with HIV/Aids become service providers
As people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) achieve more stable health, many have taken on active peer support and professional roles within AIDS service organizations. Although the increased engagement has been associated with many improved health outcomes, emerging program and research evidence have identified new challenges associated with such transition. This paper reports on the results of a qualitative interpretive study that explored the effect…
The Exclusionary Circle Game
The game has been used, beyond the intervention study, at research conferences with positive feedback. In this article, we detail the processes, strengths, and possibility of using this game for empowerment education
