Wellbeing takes place
Despite growing recognition that wellbeing and recovery are entangled with everyday environments, research in mental health and/or substance use has largely focused on individual experiences or decontextualized indicators, offering limited insights into how social-material conditions of place may enable or constrain recovery processes. This gap calls for empirical studies that explore how wellbeing and recovery are enacted within the contexts of …
The significance of reflexive negotiation in networks - Networks and meaning in people with mental health and/or substance-use challenges
People with mental health or substance abuse problems often face social difficulties. At the same time, research highlights the importance of social factors as determinants of mental health. These phenomena are distinct yet intertwined. Looking for explanations in health and social factors may seem complex but raises questions about linkages between actor and structure. In this study we aim to circumvent what we believe to be simplifications when…
Associations between perceived discrimination and health
There is a clear association between multiple reasons for PD and low scores in mental and/or physical health, suggesting a cumulative influence. To address this issue effectively, prevention efforts should be implemented at both the national level and within local public health strategies
Assessing Place Attachment by Immigrant Status
Place attachment (PA) is recognised for its influence on health and well‐being. We validated a brief PA measure called the PA‐4, which focuses on the individual's place of residence and surrounding neighbourhood. The study included 17,487 participants from a national survey conducted in Norway in 2021. The PA‐4 comprises four indicators scored on a 0–10 scale. Emotional attachment was measured through indicators of belongingness and feeling safe …

Having the combination of mental health problems and financial difficulties is strongly associated with increased risk for social exclusion, far beyond the effect of either factor alone
Micropolitics of Mental Health Recovery
Mental health recovery takes place in a social and material world. However, socio-material contexts have often been absent from recovery studies. The present study was conducted in Norway, a Scandinavian welfare country. We interviewed people at meeting places who had experiences as service users, focusing on their experiences of becoming well, and analyzed their recovery stories using an assemblage framework. Our analysis identified four constit…
Living needs a landscape’
The deinstitutionalization of mental health institutions has enabled service users to live in the community and search for what Duff coins 'enabling places.' These places were explored through walking interviews, in which service-users led the way. This analysis revealed features which made places promote liveable lives: places help people explore, places help people stand out, places give people responsibilities, and places dare people. An adver…
You realise you are better when you want to live, want to go out, want to see people
BACKGROUND: The lack of social and material perspectives in descriptions of recovery processes is almost common in recovery research. AIM: Consequently, we investigated recovery stories and how people with mental health and/or addiction challenges included social and material aspects in these stories. METHOD: We conducted focus group and individual interviews. We investigated how the participants narrated their stories and how they assembled plac…
Materialities in supported housing for people with mental health problems
Our daily lives and sense of self are partly formed by material surroundings that are often taken for granted. This materiality is also important for people with mental health problems living in supported housing with surroundings consisting of different healthcare services, neighbourhoods, buildings or furniture. In this study, we explored how understandings of tenants are expressed in the materialities of supported housing. We conducted ethnogr…
Studies regarding supported housing and the built environment for people with mental health problems
Places where people live are important for their personal and social lives. This is also the case for people with mental health problems living in supported housing. To summarise the existing knowledge, we conducted a systematic review of 13 studies with different methodologies regarding the built environment in supported housing and examined their findings in a thematic analysis. The built environment of supported housing involves three importan…
