“…Engagement of youth into mental health services starts with an awareness of the specific needs of adolescents and encourages empowerment and collaboration with participants (Dech, Orlando, Sanchez, & Tenney, 2006;Joyce & Shuttleworth, 2001;Polvere, 2011;Tenney, 2000). A benefit of these studies is that verbatim responses of students have been valued for the insight into their experiences.…”

Adolescents enrolled in community Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) programs frequently experience a wide range of serious life issues that can disrupt their educational experience, and these students may benefit from the application of counselling. The current study examines how organisations providing the VCAL can implement effective counselling services that will be utilised by students. At present, no existing studies examine what factors would encourage VCAL students to utilise a mental health service provided by their educational program. Data was collected through a web-based qualitative survey. Thematic analysis was applied to the survey responses, and the themes that emerged included interpersonal stress, desire for mutual respect in counselling, and that youth prefer to be autonomous. Participants expressed wanting counselling services which are accessible, flexible, support their own problem solving, and encourage a warm, respectful therapeutic relationship.

“…The centrality of this research, alongside initiatives undertake by the Social Care Institute of Excellence in the UK has hardened the service user participation agenda for social care. However, much of this literature suggests that the concept has been consistently under-theorized in both research and policy remits (Bidmead and Cowley, 2005;Joyce and Shuttleworth, 2001;.…”

• Summary: This article develops a means of evaluating service user participation in social care by modelling from a social network analysis framework. • Findings: The three sections of the article cover: i) an overview of the literature identifying the main agendas and influences of practical and theoretical models; ii) mapping the meanings and the mechanisms of interpretation of participation in social care; iii) a positive proposal of a network analytic model for evaluating the degrees of participation in social care agencies for monitoring and evaluation. The conclusion raises some criticisms of the ways social care research has engaged in too general discussions of participation such that they cannot be operationalized. Some observations about the politics of `representation' and `faith' in calls for participation are also raised. • Applications : A positive proposal of a network analytic model for evaluating the degrees of service user participation in social care agencies for monitoring and accountability is developed. The value of social network analysis is outlined by its emphasis on relationships between actors, as distinct from an emphasis on the attributes of individual and groups of actors. To this end a new model of participation for social care derived from network analysis is developed.

“…Studying the scope and nature of participation of the disadvantaged groups in the community has become an increasingly prominent focus of research in public policy (Barnes and Shardlow, 1997;Brodin, 2000;Dumont et al, 2004;Joyce and Shuttleworth, 2001;Minton and Dodder, 2003). In reality, the level and degree of participation distinguishes citizens who are able to exercise their rights, from those who are constantly excluded.…”

In Hong Kong as elsewhere, there have been calls for an active and inclusive notion of citizenship to empower people affected by mental illness service users (hereinafter users) in addition to conventional altruistic or non-discrimination principles in policy initiatives. In this paper we take a somewhat different perspective to consider how the users may contribute individually and collectively to empower themselves, and how political participation might help to re-assert the status and practice of citizenship. It shows that participation matters in the formation of citizenship for the users. We further assume that political participation is attributable to individual resources, motivations for getting involved and the presence of advocacy agencies to facilitate participation. We then proceed to analyse the level of political participation by the users and the general public based on data from two comparable surveys. We argue that voter empowerment is the most essential factor in bringing about a stronger sense of citizenship among the users. The findings will be discussed in the light of the practice of citizenship and the implications for public policy development.
