“…The term 'self-harm' has been used in the research literature to describe a range of behaviours involving injurious behaviour to the self without the intention of suicide (Connors, 1996;Everett and Gallop, 2001). However, there is no common definition with clear demarcation of which behaviours constitute self-harm.…”

“…These comorbidities include anxiety disorders, mood disorders and borderline personality disorders (Meekings and O'Brien, 2004) and other problems such as delinquency (Ehrmin, 2001), antisocial behaviour, conduct disorders (Myles and Willner, 1999) and schizophrenia (Bonomo and Bowes, 2001). In addition, self-harming behaviour has been linked to childhood abuse (Everett and Gallop, 2001;Herman, 1994;Meekings and O'Brien, 2004;Noll et al, 2003).…”

This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study that used a hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to develop insights into the experience of parents of young people who engage in self-harming behaviour. Six mothers (and one father who accompanied his wife) participated in the study. Findings reveal that mothers experienced guilt and shame, and that these feelings shaped their reactions and responses. These mothers described experiencing emotional dilemmas, such as the degree to which they could be responsible, uncertainty about how to understand self harm, and the best course of action to take with their child. They also encountered difficulties in combating the negative emotional effects for themselves and other family members. Findings provide insights that can help nurses and family health workers to understand and assist parents with greater effectiveness; by maintaining a non-judgemental stance, acknowledging the difficulties of their experiences, encouraging confidence in their parenting abilities, and promoting effective stress management strategies.

“…Il est essentiel à cette étape, de tenter d'obtenir la participation de femmes qui se sont rétablies de tels traumatismes lors de l'élabora-tion de programmes de soins. Gallop et Everett (2001) dans The Link Between Childhood Trauma and Mental Illness, informent les professionnels de la santé d'un certain nombre d'interventions pertinentes : comment aborder la question de l'abus ; à quel moment ; comment réagir face aux aveux d'une victime ; quel plan d'action privilégié ; comment écouter les victimes ; comment les aider, etc. Certains modèles de traitements, comme la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale et la thérapie de groupe sont aussi suggérés.…”

Résumé Dans le but de mieux connaître le vécu des femmes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves, cet recension des écrits examine leurs expériences de sévices sexuels et physiques. Les auteurs examinent dix-huit recherches américaines qui révèlent clairement que les personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves, particulièrement les femmes sont vulnérables aux abus et aux sévices. Les femmes itinérantes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves sont davantage à risque. Les auteurs proposent des liens entre cette réalité et la pratique tant en milieu hospitalier que pour l’intervention dans la communauté.

“…Examples of promotion and prevention strategies utilised by the team for the selective group (described in the National Action Plan as at higher than average risk of developing mental disorders) include groups for women who have experienced child sexual abuse (Everett & Gallop, 2001) Workers in the Health and Wellbeing Team, who have adopted a comprehensive PHC approach, include the universal, selective and indicated groups as part of their standard focus with a recovery approach overarching the whole spectrum. Murray Mallee CHS accepts self referrals from any individuals in distress requesting help, seeing this as a vital early intervention approach where individuals are supported in taking responsibility for their own health care needs (Rickwood, 2004).…”

“…Workers who sit in a position of judgement and assessment are at risk of colluding with abusers and iatrogenically contributing to distress. Subjugation to violence and abuse, and disempowerment, are becoming more recognised as causes of distress and unwellness (Department of Human Services, 2004;Everett & Gallop, 2001) and these need to be acknowledged and addressed.…”

A team approach to providing mental health services in a regional centre using a comprehensive primary health care framework

This paper discusses innovative mental health work being provided in a regional community health centre where values, setting and a wellbeing model have challenged traditional understandings of specialised mental health care. Comprehensive primary health care is a universal approach that transcends traditional boundaries; however, its value is often not appreciated in developed countries where technology and economics can limit its potential. Indigenous Health workers and Women's Health workers have long understood that psychiatric diagnosis is not always helpful for some of the people who access their services, and have developed ways of working that are respectful and empowering without the use of diagnostic labels. In Murray Mallee Community Health Service (MMCHS), a Health and Wellbeing Team was established, combining Aboriginal Health workers, Women's Health workers and Mental Health workers. Through strategic planning, a common philosophy and values base was developed. Some of the outcomes have been programs within limited resources and partnerships across health disciplines. Workers' skills and confidence have increased in every area with the resulting understanding that 'mental health is everybody's business'. This paper presents a brief historical overview of primary health care, outlines the MMCHS model, and calls for policy to be formulated and implemented in the comprehensive primary health care framework.
