A Dynamic Framework for Promoting Rights-Based Youth Allyship
Home as a Place of Refuge, Despair, and Self-Care for Men Living With Mental Health Challenges
Men's poor mental health outcomes and heightened risk for suicide have been linked to their maladaptive responses to life stressors. In this photovoice study of 21 New Zealand-based men who experienced depression, anxiety, and suicidality, participants' home emerged as an important place and resource for dealing with their mental health challenges. Utilizing the therapeutic landscapes "enabling places" framework combined with masculinities theory…
Advancing Children’s Rights through Law and Policy
This article presents experiences of advancing children’s participation in law and policy in Brazil, Scotland and South Africa. It is based on a conversation that took place in a webinar hosted by the Policy Working Group of the International and Canadian Child Rights Partnership. Using duoethnography, we delve into three issues: (1) ways children participate in the development of child-related laws and policies; (2) the leverage points for navig…

Gender and intersecting vulnerabilities on the mental health unit
While findings emphasize the need for safe places for vulnerable people, trauma-informed care, access to staff who "understand," and recreation that is meaningful to the individual, we question if the dilemma of gender-separation vs. gender-mixing is an outmoded design consideration. Instead, we argue that a flexible, person-centered approach to provision of care, which values autonomy, privacy, and safety as defined by each service user, and tha…
The Rise and Fall of Barrio Adentro
We have to band together’
Peer support has been proposed as a way to enhance the provision of mental health care; however, research has predominantly centred around formalised peer support programmes, with a dearth of studies exploring the anecdotally described phenomenon of naturally occurring peer support. This paper reports how naturally occurring peer support took place among service users in adult acute mental health unit settings, drawing on a thematic analysis of q…

Moving medicine inside the neighborhood
This article focuses on the spatial significance of health care access, analyzing how state health programs effected sociospatial transformations in poor urban neighborhoods in Caracas, Venezuela. Starting in 2003, the leftist state constructed a parallel public health system to shift biomedical care from hospital emergency rooms to small clinics in neighborhood settings, arguing that it would improve the quality and accessibility of medical care…
At Such a Good School, Everybody Needs It
Approximately 15% of US college students have used Adderall or other stimulant medications without a prescription or not as prescribed. The development of college academics into a field of practice amenable to unauthorized pharmaceutical intervention suggests a growing acceptance of pharmaceutical self-fashioning among young people in the United States. However, analyzing illicit stimulant use from college students' perspectives, we documented si…

What does health activism mean in Venezuela's Barrio Adentro program? Understanding community health work in political and cultural context
Launched in 2003 by the leftist government of Hugo Chávez, Venezuela'sBarrio Adentro(Inside the Poor Neighborhood) health care program is deeply dependent on local community health workers to implement and administer clinics and various health initiatives. Based on ethnographic research conducted between 2006 and 2009, this article analyzes the experiences ofBarrio Adentrocommunity health workers (promotores) in a working-class neighborhood in Ca…
The doctor's political body
Patients of Venezuelan state clinics ascribe meanings to doctor-patient interactions that reverberate beyond the immediacy of the clinical encounter to shape political subjectivities. They seek not just medical goods and services from clinical interactions but also expressions of recognition, respect, care, and solidarity from doctors. I argue that patients who had long resented what they saw as the Venezuelan state's broken promises to use natio…
