While social factors such as social networks (the set of active, valued social ties surrounding an individual) are recognised as protective, they are often inadequately conceptualised, preventing effective leverage to promote positive outcomes. This brief report provides information regarding common network related issues faced by families, opportunities for supportive intervention, barriers and facilitators to social network conscious work with COPMI according to professionals. Professionals who work with individuals or families affected by parental mental illness provided insights as to how social network considerations can or do feature in their work via focus group discussions. Focus group transcripts were analysed through an a priori framework developed through framework analysis in order to identify common issues, potential interventions, and barriers and facilitators in their work. Commonly observed issues within family networks included the impact of caring roles, structural limitations to networks, and experiences related to stigma and trust. Network related intervention opportunities included early identification, support for community integration efforts, and child skills building. Barriers included lack of needs identification, communication gaps, and staff workload pressures. Potential facilitators include ongoing training, interdisciplinary collaboration, and consistency in staff/family relationships. This brief report offers valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers emphasising the utility of relational approaches when working with families affected by parental mental illness.","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145231521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though there has been some research on the mechanisms of collaboration from the perspective of leadership, less literature has focused on the perspective of staff working in community-based settings. The study aimed to explore staff perceptions of interorganizational collaboration within a North Carolina county and to gather their recommendations for strengthening such collaboration. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty community-based staff that worked with behavioral health clients, were employed in varying roles and occupied different levels of the organization. Employing a generic qualitative methodology, data were analyzed using an inductive coding approach with the help of a research assistant. Thematic analysis was used across codes to generate seven themes. Community-based staff viewed collaboration as primarily driven by historic relationships and being facilitated by the possession of similar technological infrastructure. Staff reflected on the disconnect between interpersonal relationships and organizational relationships when it came to prioritizing client care. Solutions to improving collaboration as a way of strengthening a client's access to care included organizations providing time and space to network, building out technological infrastructure for more organizations, and emphasizing the ability to provide holistic care through collaboration. Using staff-driven solutions to improving collaboration can encourage buy-in and can build sustainable relationships.","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145225060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a scoping review to synthesize research evidence on family-based trauma interventions for immigrant and refugee children and their families, focusing on intergenerational trauma. Our search included peer-reviewed studies published globally from 1990 to 2024 that tested intervention effectiveness using pre- and post-intervention outcomes and involved both children and family members. Five studies met our inclusion criteria, comprising two parenting interventions, two multifamily group interventions, and one schoolbased intervention. All five interventions improved the children's mental health, while mixed findings were shown with parent mental health. Only one study explicitly named intergenerational trauma as their intervention goal, revealing a significant gap in this area. Recommendations for future studies are provided to guide practice and research in this critical area.","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"1253-1268"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143771572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, more exploratory and participatory research is needed. This paper reports recruitment experiences and baseline data of a prospective exploratory cohort study with participatory elements, initiated in mental health services in one Finnish region. The primary aims, design, and survey for data collection were developed through community meetings involving local mental health workers, peer experts, and service users. Over 2 weeks, all mental health service users, their care teams, and social network members were asked to share their views on the reasons for needing services and what aspects of treatment have been or could be helpful or unhelpful. Descriptive statistics summarized baseline data, and simple thematic analysis examined field notes on supporting and hindering aspects of the study design. A total of 117 service users, 54 care team members, and 34 social network members participated, with a service user attrition rate of 40-50%. The study achieved 79% of the target sample size. Women and participants with mood disorder diagnoses and long-term service usage were overrepresented. Findings suggest that integrating participatory research into Finnish public mental health services would require additional resources. Despite its limitations, the collected data will facilitate exploratory research into real-life mental health treatment processes from various perspectives.","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"1245-1252"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12408686/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143604133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compared the mental health of immigrant youth in Australia, Canada and the United States, and refugee and migrant youth within each country. It also explored numerous factors that were previously reported to impact the mental health of immigrant youth needing to acculturate to their settlement country. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, a global mental health screen, was used to evaluate 1063 participants recruited through communities in California, Ontario and South Australia. Twenty-four predictor variables were explored, and multivariable linear regression models accounted for substantial proportions of variance in the mental health of immigrant youth in each country. Perceived discrimination, family functioning and resilience were predictive of the mental health of immigrant youth across Australia, Canada and the United States. Additional predictors differed between each settlement country. Similarities and differences in the findings between Australia, Canada and the United States were discussed, and the study provided specific recommendations for policy and practice related to the needs of immigrant youth in the three settlement countries. This study was a timely contribution to the area of youth mental health, whose purpose was to support the acculturation and mental health of youth in OECD countries where great diversity exists due to immigration.","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"1334-1367"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12408779/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144215112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines factors associated with greater leisure satisfaction using a cross-sectional questionnaire. Main analyses were performed using ANCOVA and linear regression analyses. The frequency and variety of leisure activities were higher in MHPs (p < 0.001), with no difference in leisure satisfaction (but different perceived barriers) between the groups. Service users participating in regular group-based activities (42%) were more satisfied than service users who did not regularly participate (p < 0.05). Improving the service users' leisure satisfaction might foster social inclusion and well-being.

Although different interventions are available to provide cessation support, there is limited evidence of assessing psychiatrists' perspectives on smoking cessation among people with SMI. The study aims to explore the perspectives of psychiatrists regarding smoking cessation among people with SMI. The study used a qualitative approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten psychiatrists, exploring their opinions about smoking and its cessation among people with SMI. Purposive sampling was employed. Data saturation was achieved when no new information was gathered. The verbatim transcripts were analysed using thematic analyses. A total of 14 subthemes emerged under seven themes, highlighting the perspective of psychiatrists in terms of the utilisation of smoking as a coping mechanism among people with SMI. Findings, such as priority of care, time constraints and patient initiative, emphasised the factors impacting cessation. Psychiatrists expressed that support from peers and family members significantly influences smoking cessation among people with SMI. Furthermore, merely engaging in asking, assessing and advicing components from the World Health Organisation 5As scale implied insufficient usage of the 5As tool while discussing cessation. Psychiatrists recognise the impact of cessation on mental health outcomes, like the utilisation of smoking as a coping mechanism. Their experiences and challenges with cessation highlighted time commitment and priority of care while contemplating cessation. The deepened insight provided by our study findings has been instrumental in shaping the content of tailored interventions related to smoking cessation among people with SMI.","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"1225-1237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12408773/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143522787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
