What Matters in Sustaining Peer Support for Adults in Mental Health Services? Exploring the Perceptions of Diverse Actors
Translating mental health recovery guidelines into recovery-oriented innovations
Recovery is the focus of mental health strategies internationally. However, little translation of recovery knowledge has occurred in mental health services. The purpose of this research is to bridge the gap between recovery guidelines and practice by developing a new implementation strategy involving the formation of implementation teams made up of different stakeholders (service users, service providers, managers, knowledge users) and facilitati…
Building capacity in mental health care in low- and middle-income countries by training primary care physicians using the mhGAP
To address the rise in mental health conditions in Tunisia, a training based on the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) Intervention Guide (IG) was offered to primary care physicians (PCPs) working in the Greater Tunis area. Non-specialists (such as PCPs)’ training is an internationally supported way to target untreated mental health symptoms. We aimed to evaluate the programme’s impact on PCPs’ mental health knowledge, attitudes, self-eff…
Indigenous and non‐Indigenous parents separated from their children and experiencing homelessness and mental illness in Canada
The purpose of this study is to examine the parent-child experiences of Indigenous and non-Indigenous mothers and fathers experiencing homelessness, mental illness, and separation from their children. A qualitative thematic analysis of baseline and 18-month follow-up narrative interviews was used to compare 12 mothers (n = 8 Indigenous and n = 4 nonindigenous) with 24 fathers (n = 13 Indigenous and n = 11 non-Indigenous). First, it was found that…
Supported housing for persons with serious mental illness and personal recovery

METHOD: Qualitative interviews were conducted with 14 families of individuals with serious mental illness living in supported housing. Participa…
Tailoring a training based on the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) Intervention Guide (IG) to Tunisia
Targeting these barriers in addition to implementing a training programme may help reduce the mental health treatment gap, and promote implementation that is successful and sustainable
We find what we look for, and we look for what we know”
Findings highlight the complexity of implementing a mhGAP-based training given its interaction with contextual factors to influence the attainment of expected outcomes. Results may be used to tailor structural, organizational, provider, patient, and innovation factors prior to future implementations of the mhGAP-based training in Tunisia. Findings may also be used by decision-makers interested in implementing the mhGAP-IG training in other LMICs

Qualitative interviews conducted in 2015 revealed five themes: (1) the characteristics distinguishing home from housing; (2) the importance of amenities offered by supported housing; (3) the connections between accessi…

Collaboration and involvement of persons with lived experience in planning Canada's At Home/Chez Soi project
Planning the implementation of evidence-based mental health services entails commitment to both rigour and community relevance, which entails navigating the challenges of collaboration between professionals and community members in a planning environment which is neither 'top-down' nor 'bottom-up'. This research focused on collaboration among different stakeholders (e.g. researchers, service-providers, persons with lived experience [PWLE]) at fiv…
Implementing Housing First Across Sites and Over Time
This article examines later fidelity and implementation of a five‐site pan‐Canadian Housing First research demonstration project.

Qualitative interviews (36 key informant interviews and 17 focus groups) revealed that staff expertise, partnerships with other services, and …
Pathways into homelessness

Les foyers de groupe et le phénomène « pas dans ma cour », c’est arrivé près de chez nous. Étude pilote
L’implantation de foyers de groupe se bute souvent à ce qu’on appelle le phénomène « pas dans ma cour ». Afin de mieux comprendre ce phénomène et d’en identifier la source, cette étude pilote examine l’expérience des résidents de quartiers où l’opposition à l’implantation de tels foyers s’est manifestée. Les résultats ont permis d’identifier les raisons sous-jacentes en plus d’explorer l’impact négatif de la présence de tel foyers sur la vie de l…
