Trauma informed participatory design
Trauma-informed participatory design brings attention to lived experience and the lasting impacts of trauma, yet it remains under-defined with limited practical guidance, particularly given the diverse ways trauma can manifest. This paper draws on a nine-month study in which we conducted trauma-informed PD to co-design a mental health recovery app. Through collaborative reflections, interviews, and surveys, we collected both empirical and reflect…
Partners in Recovery
Objective: Partners in Recovery (PIR) was an Australian Commonwealth Government-funded program supporting 35,000 people with complex needs, who experienced severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI). The program was designed to foster integrated care to address fragmented and missing supports. Internationally it is a rare example of a national coordination program evaluated in multiple local contexts, from multiple stakeholder perspectives. This…
The role of artificial intelligence in co-creation of health professions education
Co-creation has emerged as a transformative approach to meaningful collaboration among students, teachers, and other key stakeholders. Although co-creation aims to integrate all stakeholders' diverse perspectives and foster engagement, motivation, and ownership among them, some practical challenges can impact its implementation. The operationalization of co-creation needs a feasible, step-by-step plan to address interpersonal, practical, and inst…
A Pilot Randomized Trial of a Program to Prevent Falls Among Community-Dwelling Adults Living with Mental Illness Demonstrates Feasibility
We adapted the Stepping On fall prevention program, conducted a pilot feasibility trial and explored program acceptability. Using a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, participants from the Older People's Mental Health Service (OPMHS) Ryde, Sydney were randomly allocated to the adapted program or usual care. Trial participation data, self-reported falls and other fall-related outcomes were recorded. Aspects of program acceptability we…
Collaboration for Recovery
The Recovery Assessment Scale - Domains and Stages (RAS-DS) was designed as a tool to promote collaboration between mental health workers and consumers. However, many workers use it solely for its other purpose-as an outcome measure - and lack knowledge and confidence to use it collaboratively. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the strategies adopted by mental health workers who successfully utilize RAS-DS to faci…

Measurement properties of the Thai translation of the Recovery Assessment Scale – Domains and Stages (RAS-DS) and comparison of recovery experiences between Thai and Australian consumers living with s…
Personal recovery, a western conceptualisation that focuses on hope and living meaningful lives of choice rather than focusing on symptom reduction, is a more recent concept in many Asian countries including Thailand. One way to promote recovery-oriented service delivery is to use outcome measures that capture self-reported personal recovery. This study aimed to evaluate a Thai translation of a self-report measure of mental health recovery, the R…

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with interviewees from DLC and DAI. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Peer support offered by DLC and DAI provided …
Barriers to applying to the NDIS for Australians with psychosocial disability
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was designed to support Australians living with disability. However, public data evidence the low number of people with psychosocial disability in the Scheme. One reason for these low numbers is that many people with psychosocial disability have still not applied to receive NDIS support. The aim of this review was to analyse and synthesise previously reported barriers preventing people with psychoso…
Impeded choice and control within the NDIS
The aim of this study was to explore the choice and control that people with a psychosocial disability (disability related to consequences of mental ill-health) experience as they engaged with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and to understand aspects that impeded their choice and control.NDIS is an Australian, personalised funding, insurance scheme designed to provide supports that enable individuals living with disability to live…

Hope is essential to mental health recovery, yet little is known about how mental health services can foster hope. This paper addresses the question: How can mental health services influence the sense of hope experienced by people who access their services? Sixty-one people who accessed a new mental health service were interviewed about their experiences, including about how the service had influenced their sense of hope. Interviews were analysed…

Parent strategies to support young people experiencing mental health problems in Australia
Parents are a critical resource in supporting young people who live with mental health problems. Qualitative research has identified that parents use a wide range of strategies to provide support. However, parents report being unsure which strategies are likely to be helpful, so often struggle in this role. Presently, little empirical evidence exists to assist parents to decide which strategies are likely to be most helpful. This study aimed to e…

Assessing community readiness for early intervention programmes to promote social and emotional health in children
OBJECTIVE: Evidence for early intervention and prevention-based approaches for improving social and emotional health in young children is robust. However, rates of participation in programmes are low. We explored the dynamics which affect levels of community readiness to address the issues of social and emotional health for pregnant women, young children (0-4 years) and their mothers. SETTING: A deprived inner-city housing estate in the north of …
Family Inclusion in Mental Health Service Planning and Delivery
It's hard work, believe me!”
Secure and appropriate housing is critical for the well‐being of people living with mental illness (consumers). Yet it is often difficult to achieve. Housing assistance is available, but is often difficult for consumers to access and negotiate. While the need for support is well‐recognised, little is known about the active part consumers play in finding and keeping appropriate accommodation. This paper addresses the research question: How do cons…
