Dear Readers, Welcome to our final quarter Lost in TranslationZine. This issue, and in keeping with our AnnualSymposium, the theme is PARTICIPATION. It’s a commonly used concept, it’s central tochange but it’s also a part of mental healthresearch translation that receives little attentionand funding for getting it right. It is also still thecase that not everyone gets to participate in equalways, nor do all forms of participation countequally.These participatory concepts are touched upon inthis issue and picked up on again in our AnnualSymposium as we explore key governmentdocuments such as the National Well-BeingFramework and sadly more increasing gaps inmental health, suicide and health.Participation is a topic that has plagued reformdiscussions, research papers and grant processes.Key to the conversation has been the importanceof participation of people with lived-experience ofmental ill-health and ongoing impacts of trauma,and carer family and kinship groups in policydesign, service and program development andimplementation of change. Yet, there is still a longway to go to ensure participation in systemstransformation is driven from a community-ledapproach with attention to values and outcomesthat matter for those most impacted.6WELCOMEMichelle Banfield, Sandra Eades &Victoria J Palmer

2023 YEAR IN REVIEWWhat are the 18 Research Projects of ALIVE National? 12The ALIVE National Centre has three flagship projectsfunded through the National Health and Medical ResearchCouncil existing funding and two externally funded projects: The Long Conversation Live4LIfe Co-Evaluation The Co-Designed National Roadmap for Mental HealthResearch Translation The PEACE-Bigaagarri Project (MRFF)A-Part of the Crowd (Medibank Better HealthFoundation)The ALIVE National Centre Implementation and TranslationNetwork supports two Demonstration Projects exploringquestions of at-scale delivery:Link-me Plus (MRFF) and Movement (MRFF)Eight Seed Funding Projects have been awarded to NextGeneration Researcher Network & The Lived-ExperienceResearch Collective. Three short term projects explorepriorities in the roadmap - heart health estimation of risk,vaccination rates for COVID-19 for people living with mentalill-health and a co-evaluation of Head to Health and theUrgent Mental Health Care Centre.
WHAT’S THE IMPACT?13AMANDA NEIL, NIZAM ABDU, CAROLINE ROBERTSON,JUSTIN CHAPMAN, AMANDA WHEELER Evaluating the impact of the ALIVE National Centrefor Mental Health Research Translation.The question of “what’s the impact?” has become a keydiscussion topic among funding bodies today. Funders arebecoming increasingly focused on just how much impacttheir investment will achieve and how it will be measured.They want to know “are they getting “value for money”?The ALIVE National Centre for Mental Health ResearchTranslation receives funding from the National Health andMedical Research Council (NHMRC) as a Special Initiativein Mental Health. In order to demonstrate the positiveimpact our centre has achieved in mental health, we willbe conducting a comprehensive evaluation of ourprojects and initiatives.
14A person-centredapproachtoevaluationis the mostappropriatemethod to assessthe impactof theALIVENationalCentre.An extension of traditionalcost-benefit analysis, SROIaccounts for social(including cultural),environmental andeconomic (financial) benefitsof a program. SROI employs acombination of qualitativenarratives and quantitativeassessments that enable theidentification/mapping,measurement and valuationof costs and benefits. By understanding andassessing outcomes thatwould not have occurredwithout the existence of theALIVE National Centre, andthen determining the valueof those outcomes, we willnot only provide a basis forfuture funding but alsoestablish and cement thevalue of embedding lived-experience in research. How will impact beassessed?After considering the ALIVENational Centre’s objectiveto bring together a diverserange of stakeholders withlived-experience andprofessional expertise andembedding lived-experience within andacross all levels andstructures, it was decidedthat a person-centredapproach would be themost appropriate method tomeasure impact.With this in mind, theevaluation team has chosento use the Social Return OnInvestment analysis method(SROI) to fully capture thebroad societal, whole-of-community outcomes andimpacts of the Centre. SROI is a techniquedeveloped in the mid-1990sfor the not-for-profit sector. What is SROI?

16The Long Conversation (TLC) is a nation-wide project of theALIVE Lived-Experience Research Collective. It aims todiscover:Where lived-experience researchers are locatednationally, The kinds of research people are engaged in, How researchers are embedding lived-experience, andThe capabilities that might be needed in researchsectors to grow and integrate lived-experience withinmental health research and translation. COLLECTIVEUPDATELIVED-EXPERIENCE RESEARCHCOLLECTIVETHE LONG CONVERSATION PROJECT: UPDATEClick here if youwould liketocontributeor learnmoreabout theTLCproject TLC uses a range of qualitative, quantitative and creativedata collection methods to enable people to contribute asmuch or as little as they like, in a manner that works forthem.
The first engagement method was an onlinesurvey, co-designed with our networks anddistributed to universities and researchorganisations. The survey was open from 18thJuly to 22nd December 2023. Ninety-seven people participated in the survey,providing a substantial volume and depth ofdata that is now being analysed. All participantswere invited to take part in the later stages ofthe project.An in-depth interview stage was launched inNovember 2023. Ten interviews have beencompleted so far.The project is now moving into the targeted keyinformant interview stage and a codingframework is being developed. We plan to use some innovative and creativeresearch methods such as Long TableDiscussions, which is a facilitated conversationmethod designed to disrupt the hierarchiesinherent in other methods. 17Step One:Step Two:Step Three:Step Four:The next steps will be informed by the preliminaryanalysis of the survey, initial interviews, and thediscussions with the Lived Experience Collective.
The last few decades have seen an influx in stigmareduction activity. These activities usually aim to improveindividual attitudes and reduce discrimination towardspeople with lived-experience but may also aim to increaseawareness, promote recovery, encourage help-seeking,and boost pride and connection.Stigma researchers often refer to three overarchingcategories of public stigma reduction approaches:educational, contact, and protest. Initiatives may alsoincorporate elements from multiple approaches. It isimportant to note that meaningful stigma reductionactivity requires ongoing work and multiple strategies, and is not a once-off activity.18NETWORKUPDATEIMPLEMENTATION AND TRANSLATIONNETWORKTHREE APPROACHES TO STIGMA REDUCTIONINITIATIVES - STIGMA BRIEF #3

REVIEW: BRISBANEYOUTH SERVICE’SSEVEN YEARANALYSIS OF YOUNGPEOPLE’S MENTALHEALTH EXPERIENCES20LAKSHMI NEELAKANTANIn October 2023, Brisbane Youth Services(BYS) released an analysis of thedemographic data of young peopleaccessing their services between 2015–2022. BYS operates on the land of the Turrbal andJagera people, providing free services for youngpeople and young families experiencing, or atrisk of, homelessness. Demographic data wascollected and analysed from a sample of 3000young people (aged 12–25 years) over a seven-year period. The analysis seeks to understand the changingneeds and characteristics of this demographicand highlights critical areas for support andintervention. The findings depict the complexand often heightened mental health challengesfaced by young people experiencing, or at risk ofhomelessness, and the interplay of these factorswith their other intersecting identities.

Young people withdisabilities were significantly morelikely to have a mental healthdiagnosis or rate their mentalhealth as poor.The following cohorts were mostlikely to be diagnosed with amental health condition: Transgender and genderdiverse young people (81%) LGBTQIA+ young people (72%)Young people with disabilities(69%).

emphasises the ongoing needfor culturally safe approachesand dedicated positions withinhousing sector mental healthteams, as well as more culturallyappropriate and validatedscreening tools for such youngpeople. Such findings highlight theimportant work by ALIVENational Program Lead, SandraEades, to promote “Longer,Healthier Lives for PriorityPopulations”. This ALIVE Nationalresearch stream examinesAboriginal and Torres StraitIslander models of social andemotional wellbeing, and aimsto embed such models intoprimary care and communityservices. Young individuals experiencinghomelessness often faceincreased stress, risk of violence,and lack of access to healthcare,contributing to higher rates ofmental health issues. Conversely,mental health problems canmake young people morevulnerable to becominghomeless due to challenges inmaintaining housing,employment and relationships. This interplay demandsintegrated support services thataddress both housing stabilityand mental health needs, tobreak the cycle of homelessnessand improve overall well-being.22Services like Head to Health,which are the key site of anImplementation Co-Evaluationwith ALIVE National and NeamiNational, have been co-designedwith local Primary HealthNetworks (PHNs) andcommunities to deliver immediate mental healthsupport and referrals forongoing support with otherissues. They represent a much-needed shift in providing moreintegrated care for young peopleexperiencing both mental healthproblems and homelessness.Read the BYSanalysis in full
23I want to begin this short piece by saying that Iam a non-Indigenous nurse, turned researcher,who has experience in the Aboriginal and TorresStrait Islander co-design world, but also hasloads more to learn in this space. I am speakingfrom my own experiences here, and I am mostdefinitely not speaking for mob, because I amnot mob. I never can be. I am the daughter of aMaltese father and English/Scottish mother. I often feel uncomfortable working in theIndigenous space as a researcher and spend alot of time reflecting on the fact that as a non-Indigenous researcher I should sit with thosefeelings of discomfort and know my limitations. What I know I can do is try to work sensitivelyand appropriately with Aboriginal and TorresStrait Islanders, and it is from that view that Iwrite this piece and share my learning withother non-Indigenous colleagues.LOOKING TO UNDERTAKE A CO-DESIGNWITH ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIGHTISLANDER COMMUNITIES?

Sadly I’ve lost count of the amountof non-Indigenous researchers Ihave met who intend to work withAboriginal and Torres StraitIslander communities “to helpthem” achieve improved healthoutcomes. Most have idealisticnotions about the change theirresearch is going to make in“vulnerable” communities, andgrand plans for sharing their “newknowledge” with the world. Yet it is probably these well-meaning researchers whoexacerbate the issue of ongoingmistrust in research that exists forAboriginal and Torres StraitIslanders. Historically, researchersand organisations entercommunity, collect data –oftentimes inappropriately – andare never heard from again by theAboriginal and Torres StraitIslander communities who havewelcomed them. This is only thetip of the iceberg for why Westernresearchers and organisations areoften not trusted. 24So what can non-Indigenousresearchers do to begin toaddress mistrust? Click here to read more aboutthe iceberg of mistrustThis takes time and it takes effort.Often that effort will require theresearcher to go well and trulybeyond the hours, resources andcapacity they have to do the work,but it has to be done.Demonstrating a willingness toestablish meaningful relationshipsalso requires the researcher togive some of themselves/showvulnerability to the community todemonstrate that they aredeserving of trust. Build trust by developing agenuine relationship with thecommunity they want to workwith.

NETWORKUPDATE26CO-DESIGN LIVING LABS NETWORKThe Co-Design Living Labs program was established in2017 as a community-based, embedded approach to bringpeople living with trauma and mental ill-health andcarers/family and kinship group members together withuniversity-based researchers to drive end-to-end researchdesign to translation in mental healthcare and researchsectors. This includes priority setting, ideation on a topic or product,co-designing a new model of care or technology or digitaltool and adopting co-researcher models within researchteams. Our co-leads are currently working on updating theco-designer handbook that is about working with co-designers in the network.NETWORK OVERVIEW

VIRTUAL CAFE SERIES: LEARNING FROMOURSELEVES FOR CHANGEREADY, SETTRANSLATESUMMARY BY LIVED-EXPERIENCE RESEARCHCOLLECTIVE MEMBER28Peter joined us at the end February 2024 for a virtual caféconversation hosted by the ALIVE Lived-ExperienceResearch Collective. He began with an overview of somecurrent perspectives in his thinking and then invitedpeople to make comments or ask questions. Around 30people were able to join in the café conversation. Peter began by stating his belief that issues surroundingwhat he calls madness and core issues for all humanbeings. Then, after exploring links between psychiatry,euro-centric conflicts and racism, Peter went on to say thatthe two most urgent tasks for change are decolonisationand the need to check our white
29privilege, describing these “notjust as elephants but ancientmammoths in the room.” Building on this, Peter providedan overview and critique of thedominance psychiatric thinkingwhich he coupled with Neo-liberalism and the push of theenlightenment era for progressionand an emphasis onindividualisation. Peter celebratedprogress being made throughparticipatory efforts and varioussocial movements which make itpossible to think differently. Lastly, he explored a keyopportunity for change as beingwhat we can support withinourselves and each other “throughthe big and inclusive ‘We,’ thatchallenges prevailing exclusionsand barriers.” Peter promoted theidea that as minorities, together,we are the majority. Throughconsidering intersectionality, wemight see our differences,commonalities, and the bigopportunity to build newsolidarities together to workcollaboratively, equally, andinclusively.This continued throughout thefollowing conversation with themes such as rights and risk insuicide prevention and the needto set our own rules; ways to buildeach other up and minimiselateral harm; how to confront thesanitisation of mad knowledges inpractice; and the relationshipbetween inclusion and definitionsof lived experience. Throughout, Peter encouraged usto keep going and emphasisedthe importance talking with eachother, working collectively andusing our lived-experiences asgateways for each other to seeourselves beyond the limitationsof dominant paradigms.Do you want to be a-partof a Lived-Experience AdvisoryGroup?A-Part of the Crowd is anexciting research projectstarting soon aboutyoung people’sexperiences of lonelinessduring life transitions.If you are 18-25 and wantto be involved, click hereto register or find outmore.
