• Hold fundraising events in support of the Active Minds movement.
• Advocate for changes in campus policies and procedures to better support mental health.
• Represent the student voice on campus health committees.

Advocacy Resources - The Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH)

Advocacy, Research and Campaign (ARC) - Anjali

Anjali works with a population that is resource poor. In hospitals they are dispossessed and in communities they do not have access to much resources. Thus, much of our work goes in ensuring absolute needs, i.e, basic human survival- water, food, shelter, sanitation, medical care. While this is a crucial and continuous part of our work, we also need to focus, with equal emphasis, on the finer aspects of human/social living, which are relative needs. These include equal opportunities, well-being, equal status before the law, meaningful employment, social justice and human dignity. That is the only way we can build social capital in communities and leadership in hospitals.

• Legislative advocacy
• System advocacy
• Self-advocacy

Arts and Visuals - The Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH)

Arts in Mental Health - Mindfreedom International

A sight focused on the role of art, music, dance, writing, theater in challenging psychiatric human rights violation and in assisting in the emergence of emotional and mental well being and recovery.

• Mad arts news: a few links, news items, announcements related to the ‘mad arts.’

• Mad Poetry: poetry cannot be silenced by psychiatric oppression. Here are some examples. Also, MindFreedom Journal has usually had a column of excerpts of Mad Poetry, edited by Bonnie Schell; see info about the journal elsewhere on this web site. You may submit poetry to that column at poetry(at)mindfreedom(dot)org. Please note that by submitting your poem you agree to MindFreedom publishing the whole poem, or excerpts of it. The MindFreedom poetry column is meant to give glimpses of the wonderful poetry out there, and so portions of poems are often used to illustrate this.

• Humor: nothing like humor to help challenge mental health oppression.

• Mad Theater: use of theater in ways that may help human rights and alternatives in mental health system.

• Mad Music: a few songs and musicians celebrating free minds, and challenging psychiatric human rights violations.

• Essay

• Audio activism: use of radio and other audible media to promote human rights and alternatives in the mental health system.

• The Art of Felice Debra Eliscu: some of the artwork of Felice Debra Eliscu.

• New Featured Products in the Mad Market: new products in MindFreedom’s online “Mad Market” store: DVD & CD. Plus there are books, brochures, and more. All proceeds benefit MindFreedom’s human rights work!

• New Mad Pride Jewelry: information about MindFreedom’s new ‘mad pride jewelry.’ You’ll find news release, photos, and more. Sale of these products benefits human rights campaigns by MindFreedom International.

• Celebrities who speak out about human rights in mental health: while many ‘cultural leaders’ in the film, TV, music and theater world have spoken out about having had mental and emotional problems, it seems most stories end simply with finding conventional mental health care they felt worked. These stories are often moving, and represent a segment of the public. But what about those who experienced some kind of trauma or human rights violations caused by their mental health care? What about celebrities who found recovery through less conventional alternatives than psychiatric prescriptions or electroshock? Why do we not hear more of their perspectives?

• Films and movies of interest to ‘mad movement’: activists in the mental health consumer and psychiatric survivor movement have found that showing movies that help inform the public about our issues can help. This folder is not meant to be comprehensive at all, but it’s a start about using various films to campaign for human rights and alternatives in mental health. There’s something fun about a film. (Listing film is not necessarily endorsement of all of it, the producers are responsible for content.)

Clinical and Recovery-focused Accommodation Service (CaRFAS). - Together - For Mental Health

Clinical and Recovery-focused Accommodation Service (CaRFAS) provides transitions from inpatient mental health setting to the community CaRFAS is designed for use in a 24-hour CQC registered accommodation setting for adults aged 18 to 65 years who experience severe mental distress. It is aimed at individuals who have multiple and complex needs who may be coming out of hospital after a long stay, moving directly from a secure unit or are looking to avoid the need for inpatient admission in the first place. The six core elements of CaRFAS are:

• A person centred approach: support people to identify their own needs and goals so that we can tailor support to suit them, and work alongside them to develop robust support plans to help them achieve their goals. This person centred approach is designed to equip people to plan and direct their own support more independently in future. We give people increasing responsibility for directing their own support to prepare them for moving on to more independent living.
• A psychologically informed way of working: all staff are trained and supervised to work with individuals in a psychologically-informed way. This means using reflective practice, where staff focus on identifying what is and isn’t effective and incorporating this experience into future approaches. Individuals are supported by staff to understand unhelpful behaviours that may have become deeply entrenched as a way of coping with distress, and to manage them before they escalate or are acted out in destructive ways.
• A blend of clinical and recovery-focused interventions: a combination of recovery-focused and clinical interventions. Our clinical and recovery team supports individuals to manage their mental health symptoms, build and practise coping skills and put this knowledge into practice. We help people to develop coping strategies learned in previous placements, and apply them to day-to-day situations in order to promote independent living.
• Sharing recovery experiences through genuine and meaningful peer support
• Building strong partnerships to ensure a safe transition: working in close collaboration with statutory mental health and forensic services to develop and implement risk management strategies in order to ensure a safe transition for those entering the service from more secure settings.
• Preparation for moving on to more independent living

Community Based Approaches - The Joint Action on Mental Health and Wellbeing (JA MH-WB)

Community Based Approaches is a working group across Europe to ensure high-quality longer-term care for people with severe mental disorders, which helped to advance mental health care in many countries. These include improvements in the living conditions in psychiatric hospitals, the development of community services, the integration of mental health care within primary care, the development of psychosocial, the protection of the human rights of people with mental disorders and the increasing participation of users and families in the improvement of policies and services. The ultimate goal of this work package is to develop recommendations for action at EU-level and in Member States that may lead to a more effective implementation of the desired shifting to community-based mental health systems and services.

A literature review was made in order to review scientific evidence, best practices and available technical resources relevant for the implementation of community-based and socially-inclusive approaches to mental health in Europe. To identify the general trends of the transition to community-based mental health care in EU, an analysis of existing data on a selected set of indicators was made. To understand in more detail the process of transition to community-based care, three different methods were used in the 9 countries that participated in this Workpackage (Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, UK), which somehow represent the main different kinds of transition process registered in EU:

• New and more extensive data related to this process was collected in these countries, with the support of a Questionnaire specifically developed for this purpose (Transition from hospital based care into community based care Assessment Questionnaire)
• A SWOT analysis (to evaluate achievements, barriers and challenges in MS) was developed in six countries
• Good practices were identifies and described in each of the participating countries
• A set of recommendations were drafted, covering the main areas that are fundamental to improve the implementation of the transition to community-based care.
• Several actions aiming at supporting the engagement and commitment of Member States and other stakeholders in effective action to develop community-based and socially inclusive approaches to mental health in Europe were initiated and will be continued in the second part of the JA.

Comprehensive mental health action plan 2013–2020 - The World Health Organisation (WHO) - Mental Health

WHO’s comprehensive mental health action plan focuses international attention on a long-neglected problem and is firmly rooted in the principles of human rights. The action plan calls for changes. It calls for a change in the attitudes that perpetuate stigma and discrimination that have isolated people since ancient times, and it calls for an expansion of services in order to promote greater efficiency in the use of resources. The four major objectives of the action plan are to:

• Strengthen effective leadership and governance for mental health.
• Provide comprehensive, integrated and responsive mental health and social care services in community-based settings.
• Implement strategies for promotion and prevention in mental health.
• Strengthen information systems, evidence and research for mental health.

Each of the four objectives is accompanied by one or two specific targets, which provide the basis for measurable collective action and achievement by Member States towards global goals. A set of core indicators relating to these targets as well as other actions have been developed and are being collected via the Mental Health Atlas project on a periodic basis.

Together’s Forensic Mental Health Practitioner (FMHP) Service works within the National Probation Service(NPS) to provide assessment and therapeutic intervention where people have a primary mental health need and may also be experiencing a number of other vulnerabilities including personality disorder, learning disability and substance or alcohol misuse. Our practitioners also support service users with risk concerns including self-harm and suicide.

An important part of our practitioners’ role is to promote better understanding of the relationship between mental health problems and other vulnerabilities, and offending behaviour and risk. They work with Offender Managers through case consultation using a problem solving framework to support them to think in a psychologically informed way about the service user and their emotional and behavioural presentation. This supports Offender Managers to tailor their approach and respond to the diversity and need of the individuals they work with. This approach is in line with the core features of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) Operational Model in delivering a Human Service Approach, where the primary focus is on the impact of the relationship developed between the Offender Manager and the service user. In addition, our practitioners help Offender Managers to develop links and navigate pathways to relevant mental health and social care services. We also work directly with these services to improve access routes and understanding of services within the NPS. Their team responds flexibly to the diverse needs of service users. For example, we have created a designated women and gangs specialist role, which deals with referrals from the Serious Group Offending Cohort, from Offender Managers across the NPS, and from our own practitioners in other NPS sites.

Foresight - Koa Health

Foresight is being developed to leverage AI to protect at-risk patients by predicting potential mental health emergencies before they occur and helping provider teams address them early. Busy clinicians cannot evaluate all the indicators of potential crises, all the time. Yet episodes of mental health crises show no signs of slowing down—worldwide, every 40 seconds someone dies by suicide and up to 80% of patients relapse following treatment for psychosis and schizophrenia. These episodes of mental crises are preventable, but many patients slip through the cracks. Foresight’s AI-enabled mental health crisis prediction model alerts providers so they can offer patients the support they need when they need it. Features include:

• Assigned clinical teams can collaborate to prioritize patients and decide on appropriate interventions with ordered risk ranking.
• Individual clinicians can see attributes contributing to risk ranking, filter cases by care level and mark follow-up actions.
• Designed to detect more than ½ of crises, our AI/Machine learning model helps avoid false positives with thresholds determined by clinicians.

Mental Health Care & Psychosocial Support for Cambodian Prisoners - Transcultural Pychsosocial Organisation - Cambodia (TPO)

Mental Health Care & Psychosocial Support for Cambodian Prisoners support sprisoners, both male and female, in four of Cambodia’s 26 prisons with legal, medical and mental health services. The prisons we are currently working in are Correctional Center 1, Correctional Center 2, Kandal Provincial Prison and Kampong Chhnang Provincial Prison. In addition to our work in these four target prisons, we also provide clinical mental health assessments and crisis support at the request of other prisons.

This project also aims to build the capacity of the prisons’ health staff and partner NGOs by expanding their knowledge about mental health and enabling them to identify prisoners with psychological problems and refer them to the appropriate services. Prison guards also benefit from TPO’s work in prisons through a heightened awareness and understanding of mental health issues and improved ability to interact with prisoners with mental health issues. Also, when the inmates psychological well-being improves, this results in a reduction of challenging work situations for the guards to handle.

• Monitoring of Mental Health
• Psychiatric Services (Assessment & Treatment)
• Counseling
• Crisis Intervention
• Hotline Counseling
• Psychosocial Support
• A TPO counselor facilitates an activity from the Life Skills Program for young inmates.
• Self-Help Groups help inmates cope with life in prison. Self-Help Groups are a recognized and cost-effective method of helping people find ways to solve problems and cope with stress. The participants, who share a common desire to overcome mental health problems, are introduced to a structured way of expressing feelings, sharing emotions and experiences, and supporting each other.
• TPO’s Life Skills Programs help inmates develop their personal awareness, interpersonal relationships, and psychologically prepare for their release.
• Capacity Building: provide mental health training to prison staff and work with them and authorities to enhance mental health awareness and build capacity to respond to the needs of inmates. Throughout the project, we continue to work on strengthening consultation between civil society and government with regards to mental health care for inmates. Through our work in Cambodia’s prisons we hope to bring about positive policy change with regards to the availability of mental health care and support in Cambodia’s prison system.

Mental Health Literacy Development - Mental Health Commission of New South Wales

Mental Health Network - Mental Health Commission of Western Australia (MHCWA)

The Mental Health Network was first established in 2014 and has contributed to supporting the implementation of mental health and alcohol and other drugs priorities and reform agendas. 

Since then, the Mental Health Commission (the Commission) has continued to strengthen its governance of the mental health and alcohol and other drugs systems, and embed stakeholder engagement practices including:

Establishment of a new and comprehensive mental health and alcohol and other drugs systems governance structure, including dedicated Lived Experience and Clinical Advisory Groups;

Establishment of Assistant Commissioner advisory roles within Aboriginal Affairs, Alcohol and Other Drugs, Lived Experience Consumer and Lived Experience Significant Other;

Development and ongoing implementation of the Commission’s Working Together: Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug Engagement Framework 2018 - 2025 and Toolkit;

Formation of time-limited advisory, steering and working groups that recruit specific expertise for specific purposes; and

An increased focus on lived experience expertise and engagement within dedicated positions at the Commission, and representation on governance committees, steering and working groups.

As a result of these developments, the Mental Health Networks will no longer operate in the same way, with some transitioning to their own, independent Community of Practice.

The Commission will continue to prioritise stakeholder engagement moving forward, aligning priorities with fit-for-purpose approaches.

Along with our new system governance structures and engagement processes, the Commission is establishing a new online engagement platform to expand and diversify our reach.

Further information regarding the online engagement platform will be available as the project develops. If you would like to be one of the first to hear about the new platform when it is finalised, please click here. 

You can register to receive our bi-monthly e-newsletter, Stakeholder Connect, to keep updated on key initiatives and opportunities to get involved. All recipients of Stakeholder Connect will be invited to join the online engagement platform once it is established.

National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) - Australian Mental Health Outcomes and Classification Network (AMHOCN)

he Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC), comprising a range of clinician and consumer rated measures, was first specified in August 2002 and implemented progressively by states and territories in the years that followed. This process followed a commitment by states and territories, under the Second National Mental Health Plan, to introduce the routine collection of outcome and casemix data in public mental health services. The use of outcome measures attempts to measure whether a change has occurred for a consumer as a result of mental health care. By using a range of outcome measures, consumers and clinicians can work together to map the journey of recovery over time.

The NOCC measures contribute to the development of clinical practice, aiming to improve the quality of care for consumers of Australia’s public sector mental health services. Outcome measures can assist consumers in considering options for their care and treatment and support the development of a therapeutic relationship between the clinician and the consumer. The measures can also be used by clinicians to monitor the progress of the consumer, evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and thereby provide information that will assist decisions about clinical practices. The outcome measures can also be used by team leaders and service managers to better understand the needs of consumers, to plan for the allocation of resources and to identify where service improvements are required.

The measures that comprise the NOCC are listed below. More detailed information about each measure can be found in Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection: Overview of Clinician-Rated and Consumer Self-Report Measures V1.50. The measures are collected by services according to a set of “protocols” - at specified times and points in service delivery. These protocols are described in Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection: Technical specification of State and Territory reporting requirements.

• Version: 2.02.
• Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS);
• Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA);
• Health of the Nation Outcome Scales 65+ (HoNOS65+);
• Life Skills Profile 16 (LSP-16);
• Resource Utilisation Groups – Activities of Daily Living Scale (RUG-ADL);
• Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS);
• Mental Health Inventory 38 (MHI 38);
• Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale 32 (BASIS 32);
• Kessler 10+ (K-10+);
• Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ);

Open Door Materials - Open The Doors

The following materials were developed as tools to implement the WPA Programme to Reduce the Stigma and Discrimination Because of Schizophrenia. They are available for programme participants to customize to fit local culture and programme needs. The information from the WPA Programme to Reduce Stigma and Discrimination because of Schizophrenia has been divided into five volumes, available below.

• Updated Bibliography 2006: a revised bibliography of books and journal articles on Stigma and more specifically on the Stigma associated with mental illness is now available here as well. The bibliography, authored by Professor Norman Sartorius and Dr. Marion Aichenberger is one of the most comprehensive on this important subject.
• Training Manual: The Training Manual of the WPA “Open the Door” programme includes information on “Assessing Feasability”, “Developing Reasonable Goals and Objectives”, “Working with Community Neighborhoods” and other topics of great importance to those developing a stigma programme.
• Volume I: Guidelines for Programme Implementation. Outlines a series of steps for developing a programme to reduce stigma and discrimination because of schizophrenia and includes an estimate of the time needed to complete each step. While it is expected that the time required may vary from site to site, it is recommended that sites follow the sequence as specified and complete all steps.
• Volume II: information about Schizophrenia Relevant to Programme Implementation. Contains facts about schizophrenia selected on the basis of their relevance to such programmes. In this part of the programme document, messages of particular relevance to the reduction of stigma and discrimination are highlighted in the margins. The information in Volume II will be updated regularly to reflect new research findings and the experience of those participating in the programme at different sites
• Volume IV: Compendium of Programmes Aiming to Reduce Stigma and Discrimination Because of Schizophrenia or Mental Illness in General. Contains information on anti-stigma programmes world-wide engaged in fighting mental illness stigma and discrimination. This compendium collects and reviews information on existing programmes and materials, in order to help those implementing the WPA Programme design their own project, and decide on the media materials to be used. The survey is ongoing and it is expected that many more programmes will be included as information about them is received. Additions will be published as supplements to this compendium.
• Volume V: annotated List of Materials for use in Country Programmes. This volume is an annotated list of materials used in country anti-stigma programmes. The materials are indexed alphabetically by title, author, audience, media, and language.

Operation Unchain - Transcultural Pychsosocial Organisation - Cambodia (TPO)

TPO helps unchain people with mental health problems who are literally chained up in rural Cambodian homes due to a lack of awareness about mental health issues and the lack of affordable and effective services. This project raises awareness of mental health issues in rural Cambodian communities and demonstrates that there are alternatives to chaining up family members struggling with mental illness. Mobile TPO teams will travel to rural areas to treat patients, educate families on how to care for their loved ones, and train local health workers so more community members can access the care they desperately need.

By bringing care and training directly to the people who need it most, this work will shift communities’ attitudes about mental health issues and the help that is available. Families that are overwhelmed will find relief as their relatives with mental illness gain more independence, realize their rights, and finally have the opportunity to participate in society.

Pathways - Together - For Mental Health

Pathways services provide holistic assessments of each individual’s needs, addressing both practical and psychological aspects in order to tackle the problems at the root of a person’s distress. We work strategically with the emergency services and other key organisations to develop ways in which they can work together more effectively and as a result help prevent individuals from reaching crisis point. Each person is encouraged to identify the three hardest things that are currently making their lives difficult. Our staff team then works with them to build their own resources and resilience in order to overcome these issues. By focusing on people’s strengths and providing support that helps them to build positive relationships and networks, they will be better equipped to cope with life’s challenges, manage their mental wellbeing and ultimately reduce their use of emergency services. The Pathways approach operates at three distinct and complementary levels:

• With the individual on the ground
• With the services already supporting them
• With the wider system as a whole

Progression Together - Together - For Mental Health

Progression Together is a model of personalised accommodation based support. It is designed to help people with complex and challenging mental health needs move progressively towards increased independence, at a pace that’s right for them. The six key elements of Progression Together are: 

• Support people along a staged pathway from initial intensive residential support, to preparing for independence and ultimately living independently in their community. At each stage, staff work alongside the individual towards tailored, meaningful goals, and ensure these are achieved before moving to the next stage of the process.
• Give people increasing levels of responsibility for directing their own support and recovery, introducing appropriate levels of choice and control so that they can set their own goals, decide how they work towards them and with whom. This self-directed support is designed to help them prepare for the transition to using a Personal Budget for their care once living independently.
• Staff are experienced in assessing the need for additional clinical care (such as psychotherapy or occupational therapy), and supporting people to access this.
• Work closely with all the agencies involved in a resident’s care (for example MAPPA or the Community Mental Health Team) throughout their progress towards recovery and independent living, to ensure a co-ordinated, informed approach to assessment, support planning and review for every individual.
• Give staff the specialist training they need to be confident in supporting people with a wide range of complex needs.
• Peer supporters draw on their own experiences of mental distress to help others towards better mental wellbeing. Genuine, meaningful peer support can help people take huge strides towards better mental health, and is a core part of the service we offer in our Progression Together services.

Psychaitric Advance Directives - Mind Freedom International

An advance directive is a written document that expresses your wishes in advance about what types of treatments, services and other assistance you want during a personal mental health crisis. A directive provides a clear statement of your medical treatment preferences and other wishes or instructions. You can also use it to grant legal decision-making authority to another person to be your advocate and agent until the crisis is over.

An advance directive goes into effect if you are hospitalized and it has been determined that you “lack the capacity to make decisions for yourself.” By writing your advance directive when your capacity is not in question, you have the opportunity to better influence what happens during a hospital stay. In an emergency situation, therefore it’s critical that an advanced directive is made in advance. For state by state information in the United States and for other countries:

• United States

Queer Resilience Clinic - Octave

Octave have built a team of therapists who are committed to providing affirming care to queer and trans people of all genders and sexualities. Finding the right therapist can be challenging and sometimes downright frustrating. We know that many people avoid therapy altogether for fear of facing ignorance or discrimination. They’ve built a team of therapists who have demonstrated experience in working with queer communities and are dedicating their time exclusively to learning and developing expertise on these issues:

• Dating and romantic relationships
• Navigating systemic oppression
• Family relationships
• Disclosure and coming out
• Gender identity exploration
• Gender affirmation and transition
• Queer family building
• Relationship to food and body in the context of queer or trans identity
• Aging
• Isolation, depression, anxiety
• Living with HIV/AIDS
• Addiction/substance use
• Bi erasure/phobia
• Queer kink/BDSM communities/practices
• Ethical non-monogamy/polyamory within queer communities

The therapists in this clinic have all dedicated significant training and clinical focus to LGBTQ+ mental health. In addition, the team has ongoing training so they can stay up-to-date in an ever-evolving field. Some of them are leaders in the field and regularly provide training to other therapists on LGBTQ+ concerns.

As experienced clinicians working with LGBTQ+ clients, we recognized that many queer and/or trans people find the process of finding an affirming therapist to be frustrating, challenging, and laborious. We envisioned a system in which LGBTQ+ clients would feel comfortable getting support from clinicians who are more familiar and understanding of who they are in the world. At Octave we already had clinicians with a great amount of expertise in this area, so we tapped into their skills and talents to be able to create this offering for the community.

Clinicians must be aware of the ways in which identity, how one interacts with the world, systems such as homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, and ciscentrism affect mental health and wellbeing. Most therapists are not trained to work with LGBTQ+ people and for that reason typically cause more harm than good. We acknowledge that while not every issue that a queer and/or trans person needs to bring to therapy is related to gender or sexuality, it’s crucial to be able to build a relationship of trust with someone who can make space for these aspects of identity and experience along with all other aspects of cultural identity and experience.
