As a result, individuals living with mental illness often experience decreased self-esteem, loss of identity, isolation, exacerbated mental illness, internalized self-stigma, housing and employment discrimination, academic challenges, and barriers in various aspects of life. Research indicated that stigma continues to persist despite increased knowledge about mental health, expanded treatment options, and an abundance of mental health promotion and stigma reduction programs. Thus, we must further examine mental health-related stigma from various theoretical conceptualizations to understand its persistence. This paper applied two theoretical frameworks: Social Learning Theory and Sociological Imagination Theory to better understand mental health stigma. It argues that activism aids in reducing mental health stigma. This paper also suggests that program developers of future mental health stigma reduction efforts should apply activism into their initiatives to promote social justice and equity for people living with mental disorders. ","PeriodicalId":73927,"journal":{"name":"Journal of recovery in mental health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49424126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two focus groups collect data from people with serious mental illness (SMI) and professionals from hospital-based psychiatric services (HBPS) to explore challenges and opportunities for future implementation of peer support on Unicamp psychiatric emergency room service in Campinas Brazil. Research Design: The study was conducted in Campinas, Brazil, in January 2020. Volunteers formed two focus groups (n = 10) and discussed relevant questions to implement a peer-based model on the ER psychiatric unit. Methods: Thematic Analysis was used for this study. The sessions were recorded and later transcribed, and data were analyzed and organized in Themes. Results: The research team grouped four themes from the client's perceptions of challenges: lack of access to mental health services, lack of care, treatment voiceless, self-perception about stigma. The client's perceptions of opportunities generate two themes: trust and relationships and appraisal of emotional network and support. The professional's perceptions developed four themes of challenges described as sustainability and adherence to treatment, living with serious mental illness, ER professional roles and limits, and implementation of peer support in the ER. The professional's perceptions of opportunities generated two themes: understanding peer support roles and the positive impact of peer support in the ER. Conclusions: The qualitative data highlights the need for peer support working in the ER psychiatric unit. Also suggested the relevance of large-scale research to build strategies to future implement peer support on the ER psychiatric unit. \u0000Keywords:     \u0000Qualitative research, peer support, people with serious mental illness, mental health workers.","PeriodicalId":73927,"journal":{"name":"Journal of recovery in mental health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49162400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initial searches were undertaken using databases CINAHL, PsycINFO and ASSIA; this search was then followed up with a library search for key texts and a further search for associated grey literature involving exploring blogs and conference presentations.

The potential for extending our understanding of the poetry in this way is analogous to forms of talking therapy, and this may be a base for extending understanding and communicative practice for a range of mental health professions.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The conceptual framework suggests a novel understanding of psychosis in relation to poetry, moving away from traditional biomedical paradigms and placing importance upon individual narratives.</p>","PeriodicalId":73927,"journal":{"name":"Journal of recovery in mental health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7612154/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39788701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
