It highlights the difficulties faced in negating Australia’s Health Care System and the struggle to access appropriate mental health care for her self and her son. The stigma and discourse in the community of mental health and by those with mental health issue.

In Antonia’s life growing up on a small farming community in Italy, and was only educated to grade four, the expectations of her was to marry and have children. So gender and gender roles both in roles society expects us to play and the roles that we are socialized into have played important parts on how Antonia life has been shaped (gender ref) When she arrived in Australia she only needed to be fluent enough in English for conversations with other people for her basic needs, as her husband would have dealt with more complex issues.

...The purpose of this essay is to discuss, within a case study context, the impact of severe mental health problems on a client whose care I have been involved in and, to discuss how the condition has affected the person, their informal carers, family and supporters. This essay will aim to provide an explanation of severe mental illness as well as an overview of the chosen client’s background, diagnosis and the impact this has had on them and those involved in their care. To protect the identity of the client and to respect the principle of confidentiality, a pseudonym has been used throughout this essay (NMC, 2008). The reason for choosing John for my case study is that having worked with him for approximately 2 years now, I feel I have already developed a therapeutic relationship with him. Having this Therapeutic relationship means there is an ongoing rapport resulting in John feeling at ease in disclosing personal information.. There is no universal understanding of what a severe mental health illness is it tends to be seen differently by the person experiencing it, their family and doctors. The term can refer to an illness where psychosis occurs, e.g. Schizophrenia; it also includes mood disorders, e.g. manic depression, schizoaffective disorder and clinical depression, and often referred to severe mental illness Psychosis describes the loss of reality a person experiences.

...The Open Health Services and Policy Journal, 2010, 3, 53-70 53 Open Access Outreach and Engagement in Homeless Services: A Review of the Literature Jeffrey Olivet*,1, Ellen Bassuk1,2,3, Emily Elstad1, Rachael Kenney1 and Lauren Jassil1 1 2 3 Centre for Social Innovation, 215 Spadina Avenue, Suite 120 Toronto, Ontario M5T 2C7, Canada The National Center on Family Homelessness, 181 Wells Avenue, Newton, MA 02459, USA Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, USA Abstract: Outreach and engagement are regarded by many who work in homeless programs as essential services. Outreach on the streets and in shelters is often the first point of contact for people who are not served by traditional sitebased services and is often the first step in engaging homeless people in services. While outreach and engagement are critical components of the response to homelessness, consensus is lacking about the nature and effectiveness of these services. The purpose of this paper is to examine what is known about outreach and engagement for people experiencing homelessness. The authors review quantitative studies that examine outcomes and augment this understanding with information from qualitative studies and non-research literature. The latter provides information about the goals of outreach, assumptions and values, staffing issues, and consumer involvement. The paper concludes with implications for practice, policy, and research. Keywords: Homeless/homelessness, outreach,...

...Paper 3 - Victims of Bullying, Mental Health, and Nursing Victims of bullying are at a high risk of developing various types of mental illnesses, and the evidence on this topic in the research literature can be used to inform psychiatric nursing practice. The available studies on mental health and its connection to bullying victims shows that preventing mental illness and promoting mental health involves a comprehensive approach, using combination of techniques that must be implemented by many stakeholders. The information that comes from these studies suggests that psychiatric nursing must take research findings into account. It also suggests that nurses have a definite role to play in terms of providing direct patient care, referring the patient to other helpful medical and community resources, offering education to the patient and family, and providing follow-up care. Specific interventions based on this evidence could also be adopted by Registered Nurses (RNs) after they graduate. Literature Review There is a wealth of literature available on the subject of bullying. This literature demonstrates that there is a clear link between bullying victimization and many types of mental health issues. However, it also suggests ways that mental health could be promoted among this population, and how rehabilitation could be administered. Studies have shown that bullying victims are at a higher risk for certain types of mental illness, and that issues of symptom severity, compared...

...In this essay I will analyse in reference to the case study, how psychological theory informs our understanding of mental health disorders. I have chosen the following two theories to analyse, Psychodynamic and Cognitive. I will also evaluate how certain therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychotherapy may help or change a depressed person’s behaviour. Depression is a potentially disabling illness that affects many, but is understood by few. Suffers often do not recognise the nature of this terrible illness until they are so devastated that they can no longer help themselves. (Ainsworth 2000). According to Houpt 2010, Jamie is clearly showing signs of depression. Jamie is exhausted and his schoolwork is falling behind. He has fallen asleep in class and states that he feels depressed and anxious. He also feels a great sense of loss and his eating behaviour has changed drastically. Houpt states that depression reduces, depresses and slows a person’s functional level. It slows mental and bodily activities. Therefore a slowed mind is unable to process and respond to all incoming data. Adolescent depression is a mental and emotional disorder affecting adolescents and teens. More commonly referred to as teenage depression, adolescent depression is not medically different from adult depression and can affect a teen’s personal, school, work, social and family life therefore leading to social isolation. Empfield and Bakalar, 2013). A psychodynamic...

...The Social Impact Of Social Policies In Human Services Kimberly Covington Walden University Human Services Theory HUMN-8151-2 November 02, 2014 The Social Impact Of Social Policies In Human Services Poverty and Homelessness has become a constant contribution to the economic crisis which continues to plague society. There are several factors which can contribute to the homeless population such as alcohol usage, drug usage, education, mental health issues, criminality, and the unfortunate employability of armed forces personnel. A major cause of homelessness is health related issues which contribute to economic instability, which can affect an individual’s ability and accessibility to work in certain capacities. Adequate health, nutrition, and education effects the individual’s ability to work and function in secondary and vocational schooling. Debilitating and chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension; all which can be directly related to poor nutrition due to limited availability to healthy food choices. Poor nutrition can also be a big contributor to recovery time necessary to get back to work from illnesses. This lack of health care affordability and the ability for individuals to recover from illness exacerbates the effect the financial deficit of the economy. The affordability of healthcare has contributed to working families’ deciding whether it is important to pay healthcare premiums or pay household bills such as food, shelter,...

The effects can be found in the individual with a mental illness as well as helping to build relationships between them and the surrounding community. These benefits can also be found at the Vision Quest Studio in Bradford, Vermont, where the director, Bob Claflin, LCMHC, provides an environment to create art with three men with mental illnesses. Art therapy is the combination of visual expression and therapeutic healing. Historically, it has been known that art is beneficial, as it is one of the oldest forms of healing: art has been recognized for its positive effects physically,...

...preventative behaviors. The American Academy of Pediatrics focus on the use of repeated mental health screenings during pregnancy and postpartum to both prevent the onset of, and provide early diagnosis of maternal depression (Chaudron et. al., 2004). These screenings are not routinely administered, but when utilized, it is executed by physicians or nurses during the neonate’s 1-month, 2-month, and 4-month check-ups (Chaudron et. al., 2004). A study of the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group database of nearly 17,000 women found that women who received a psychosocial or psychological intervention after delivery were significantly less likely to develop postpartum depression compared with those receiving standard care (Dennis & Dowswell, 2013). These interventions include home visits by public health nurses or midwives, telephone support, and interpersonal therapy (Dennis & Dowswell, 2013)....

...central concepts are informed by moral opinions and, as a result, contested on ethical grounds. Taking this intergration of conceptual and ethical issues seriously from a research point of view requires that they are very strongly interconnected, i.e. mere studies of the way in which concepts are in fact informed by moral opinions and social values is not siffucient. Outright normative analyses of underlying ethical views need to underpin suggestions with regard to the way in which central concepts should be employed in policy contexts. This has been recognised in research on the basic ethical issue of what should be seen as the basic determinant of the quality of life or well-being (Brülde 1998, 2006), as well as research on applied ethics of relevance for disability (Brülde 2003; Munthe 1996, 1999; Juth 2005; Juth & Munthe 2006), and concepts such as happiness, health, illness, and mental disorder (Brülde 2000, 2006a, 2006b). Research on several of the conceptual issues has demonstrated how they are strongly connected to ethical problems related to health care policies and public health practices, in particular issues about what are the appropriate goals of medicine as a whole, or parts thereof, e.g. the goals of palliative care, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, or treatments of chronic illnesses. Normative theories about appropriate goals are necessary to come up with plausible grounds for diagnostic categories, outcome measures and policy guidelines in different areas. Some attempts...
