Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal (Sep 27, 2018). DOI:10.1037/prj0000321
Objective: Social effectiveness continues to play a critical role in recovery of people with serious mental illness (SMI), with greater social effectiveness predicting many positive life outcomes.

Open access. Poverty is strongly associated with mental illness. Access to state benefits can be a lifeline for people with mental health problems in times of hardship and can assist them on their journey of recovery. However, benefit application processes can discriminate against those with mental illness and can result in individuals unjustly missing out on support. Clinical evidence from mental health professionals can ameliorate these challenges and ensure that people get access to financial help.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal Vol. 41, Iss. 1, (Mar 2018): 1-7.
Objective: Antistigma programs may be guided by 3 differing agendas: services (promote treatment engagement), rights (help people achieve rightful goals), and self-worth (facilitate self-worth and efficacy). This study examined the construct validity of this perspective by examining the factor structure of importance ratings of the 3 agendas. The study examined how importance might be viewed differently by the population as a whole versus a subsample of people who reported previous experience with mental health services and hence could be directly harmed by stigma..

Each The Human Library™ event is designed to enable interactions that challenge stereotypes and prejudices through conversation. It is a library of individual human beings, drawn from different minority or marginalised groups in the community, that are somehow exposed to stigma, misunderstanding and / or discrimination.

Stigma and Health (May 11, 2017).
Positive ingroup perceptions have been recognized as a protective factor that enhances stigma resistance and improves the well-being of people from minority communities. However, the impact of positive ingroup perceptions on mental health recovery has rarely been explored. The present study proposed an ingroup perceptions model of recovery and examined how group value, group identification, and sense of community contribute to better clinical and personal recovery for people with mental illness through the mediation of self-stigma and empowerment.

Although the negative association between discrimination and recovery has been established, only a few studies have attempted to investigate the underlying mechanism of how perceived discrimination dampens both clinical and personal recovery among people with psychiatric disorders. This study aimed to examine the mediating roles of self-stigma and mental health service engagement in the relationship between perceived discrimination and recovery. : Login at top right hand side of page using your SSSFT NHS Athens for full text.

This article, which uses a dialogue between a mental health nursing student and an academic, aims to promote hybridity as an anti-stigmatising resource in mental health work. To achieve this aim, both authors disclose significant details of their past mental health difficulties in a relational autoethnographic dialogue, with excerpts from the first author’s academic assignment work. This highlights the importance of hybrid ‘practitioner-survivor’ identity as an ethical imperative in collapsing the boundaries between professional and user narratives in emancipatory mental health practice.
