Online Art-Based Interventions from Peer Influencers to Reduce Mental Health Stigma
Stigmatizing perceptions of people with mental health conditions continue to frame them as dangerous, weak-willed, flawed, and culpable for their symptoms. Guided by social contact and social role valorization theories, the present study consists of a randomized controlled trial of an asynchronous, online social contact intervention to reduce mental health stigma among members of the public (N = 318). Groups 1–3 viewed intervention posts includin…
The mediating role of mental health advocacy in understanding family stigma and personal growth among adult siblings of individuals with serious mental illness
Strengths, Struggles, and Strategies
Married individuals and those in committed romantic relationships generally report having better mental health outcomes than their single or divorced counterparts. However, studies of romantic relationships for adults with mental illness have often ignored rewarding aspects of romantic relationships and have focused primarily on relationship difficulties. In this study, 23 adults with serious mental illness in long-term romantic relationships des…

When mom has depression
Behind the Hashtag
The present study examined personal disclosures about mental illness and the responses of online community members on the social media platform, Tumblr. We sampled public blog posts of 14,626 Tumblr users disclosing ten different mental health diagnoses using hashtags (e.g., #depression, #anxiety, and #anorexia). We examined the content of users’ disclosures, predictors of disclosure frequency, and predictors of online community response. The con…
Seeds of change
Even within economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, programs fostering protective factors can shape youth outcomes. One positive youth development (PYD) program— Seeds of Change—employs teenagers in an urban neighborhood in Ohio and uses goats and community gardens to promote adolescent development. The current study used semi‐structured interviews with adolescents ( N = 7, ages 16–20) to conduct a case study of the program. The case study desc…
Stage and process models of consumer-oriented recovery among adults with serious mental illness
Consumer-oriented models have conceptualized recovery in two main ways: as a multicomponent process across various life domains, and as a series of identifiable stages occurring over time. The main goal of the present study was to determine whether psychosocial factors, namely internalized stigma and personal loss, predicted a greater amount of variance in reports of consumer-oriented recovery than demographic, treatment, and illness severity cha…
Self and sibling care attitudes, personal loss, and stress-related growth among siblings of adults with mental illness
9.05). Results suggest that well siblings' reports of self and sibling caregiving attitudes significantly differed as a function of primary caregiver status (i.e., sibling, parents, or others as primary caregiver or no caregiver). Sibling caregiving attitudes differentially predicted well siblings' experience of personal loss and stress-related growth, regardless of demographics and primary caregiver status, perceived sibling illness severity, an…
Community psychology, digital technology, and loss
We argue for community psychology to include digital communications technology in research on ways that the social environment shapes fundamental human experiences. We present a qualitative study that examined the narrative accounts of 20 young adults who experienced the death of a close friend to describe both traditional and digital forms of remembrance in coping with loss. Findings suggest that young adults' activities both online and offline …

Couples were empirically classified according to network structural variables considered simul…

Reaction to the intervention paper by Heller et al. (1990) places their work into a larger framework of social support interventions to make explicit the assumptions underlying the project. It is suggested that the intervention was constrained by the experimental design of the evaluation research and overlooked important features in the process of relationship development among dyads. In developing interventions designed to impact personal relati…
