Reducing Gendered Harm in Involuntary Mental Health Service Provision

非自愿的精神健康治疗往往造成创伤，妇女报告说，这种伤害还存在性别层面。本研究采用行动研究框架，借鉴服务使用者、家庭和专业人员的意见，旨在制定应对妇女急性精神痛苦的改进战略，重点是减少胁迫。预期成果包括增进对强制性心理健康治疗对妇女的经验和影响的理解，以及共同设计的在线资源，将支持在一线心理保健中发展有效、现实和非强制性的做法。该项目将为国家和国际一级的精神卫生改革带来实质性利益。

Involuntary mental health treatment is often traumatising, with women reporting additional gendered dimensions of harm. Using an action research framework that draws upon the voices of service users, families and professionals, this study aims to develop improved strategies for responding to acute mental distress in women, with a focus on reducing coercion. Expected outcomes include enhanced understandings of the experiences and impacts of compulsory mental health treatment on women and a co-designed online resource that will support the development of effective, realistic and non-coercive practices in frontline mental healthcare. The project will provide substantial benefits to mental health reform at a national and international level.
