Seeing Arts Health Research Enacted (SHARED): Understanding what works for whom in arts-based approaches for mental health and wellbeing globally

澳大利亚人权委员会在国内和国际上就艺术和人文学科在促进心理健康和福祉方面的作用进行创新的记录，在与心理健康有关的主题和呼吁的范围和多样性方面得到了证明，包括文化价值项目，连接社区以及澳大利亚人权委员会通过GCRF资助的项目对全球心理健康议程的贡献，该组织主要关注解决地球仪范围内精神卫生服务不平等的问题。在很大程度上，由于澳大利亚人权委员会的领导，艺术和人文学科在增强心理健康方面的价值的国家案例现在已经得到有效的实现，文化和创造性艺术的作用在UKRI的心理健康跨学科议程中得到了坚定的承认。在英国精神卫生研究所确定的五个跨领域主题中，第一个是“有效干预”，实现“包容性参与”和“可转移性、可持续性、可扩展性”。现在的关键和紧迫的挑战是确保一个强大的，以证据为基础和研究为基础的方法，使艺术和人文科学研究为基础的活动能够为那些正在经历这些活动的人所利用。地球仪本项目通过建立一个国际网络来探索哪些艺术和人文科学研究为基础的活动对谁有效，从而应对这一挑战。（何时，为什么和在哪里）以及在不同的社会文化背景下将艺术和人文研究嵌入心理健康服务的最佳实践。由跨学科的艺术和人文团队（英语文学/跨文化教育/应用语言学）领导，专门从事高影响力的艺术/人文研究为基础的心理健康提供，并借鉴心理学的专业知识。健康科学和现代语言和文化，以及与外部健康合作伙伴和艺术组织合作，该项目将侧重于成功实施和嵌入艺术和人文研究，以促进心理健康和福祉，国内和国际。该网络特别注重平等和包容，特别是在精神健康和福祉方面基于艺术和人文研究的举措必须在克服全球卫生不平等和排斥方面发挥作用，其动机是“跨知识”议程。研究证据表明，高收入国家可以向低收入国家学习宝贵的经验教训，特别是在心理健康和福祉方法方面采用多元化。三个重点研讨会-（i）艺术与健康提供者之间的战略伙伴关系（ii）精神卫生保健的包容性实践和（iii）与现有社区能力的一致性-将汇集最先进的知识和专业知识，以及来自世界各地的艺术和人文精神卫生研究的成功模式。在两个英国城市的出色业绩基础上，（利物浦和格拉斯哥）艺术与健康之间的创新合作，以及跨学科研究团队在本地和（国际）国家精神健康艺术/人文研究的经验，该系列将强调：与利益相关者共同创造嵌入基于研究的变化的手段;促进国家和国际成功项目的联合规划;确定需要做些什么来区分不同社会文化背景下不同艺术/人文活动对心理健康的好处。该网络的短期目标是确定在2019冠状病毒病疫情后，哪些工作已经奏效，哪些经验教训可以借鉴，以应对当前的优先事项。长期目标是将艺术和人文学科定位于提供心理健康的包容性愿景的最前沿，并将AHRC定位于解决未来国家和全球心理健康挑战的先锋。

The AHRC's track record of innovation in relation to the role of Arts and Humanities in fostering mental health and wellbeing, nationally and internationally, is proven in the range and diversity of mental health-related themes and calls, including the Cultural Value Project, Connected Communities and the AHRC's contribution via GCRF-funded projects to the Global Mental Health agenda, which has principally been concerned with addressing inequities in mental health provision across the globe. Thanks in large part to the AHRC's leadership, the national case for the value of Arts and Humanities in enhancing mental health has now been effectively made, and the role of culture and the creative arts is firmly acknowledged in UKRI's cross-disciplinary agenda for mental health. Of the five cross-cutting themes identified in UKRI's mental health strategy, the first is 'effective intervention', enabling 'inclusive participation' and 'transferability, sustainability, scalability'. The key and pressing challenge now is to ensure a robust, evidence-based and research-informed approach that will enable Arts and Humanities research-based activities to be accessible to those who are experiencing them across the globe This project rises to that challenge by establishing an international network to explore which Arts and Humanities research-based activities are working for whom (when, why and where) and what is evidenced best practice for embedding Arts and Humanities research in mental health provision in different socio-cultural contexts. Led by an interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities team (English Literature/Intercultural Education/Applied Linguistics) specialising in high-impact Arts/Humanities research-based mental health provision, and drawing on expertise in Psychology. Health Sciences and Modern Languages and Cultures, as well as working in collaboration with external health partners and arts organisations, the project will focus on the successful implementation and embedding of Arts and Humanities research in the promotion of mental health and wellbeing, nationally and internationally. With a specific focus on equality and inclusion, and the special part Arts and Humanities research-based initiatives in Mental Health and Wellbeing have to play in overcoming health inequities and exclusions globally, the network is motivated by a 'trans-knowledging' agenda. Research evidence shows that high income countries have valuable lessons to learn from low-income ones, especially in embracing pluralism in respect of approaches to mental health and wellbeing. Three focused workshops - (i) strategic partnerships between Arts and Health providers (ii) inclusive practices in mental health care and (iii) alignment with existing community capacities - will bring together state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise with ongoing successful models of Arts and Humanities-based research in mental health from across the world. Building on the exceptionally strong track record in two UK cities (Liverpool and Glasgow) of innovative collaboration between arts and health, as well as on the interdisciplinary research team's experience of working locally and (inter)nationally on Arts/Humanities research for mental health, the series will emphasise: co-creating with stakeholders means for embedding research-based change; promoting joined-up planning of successful projects nationally and internationally; identifying what needs to be done in differentiating the benefits to mental health of distinct Arts/Humanities activities in different socio-cultural contexts. The short-term objective of this network is to establish what has already worked and what lessons can be learnt for the immediate priorities in the aftermath of Covid-19. The long-term objective is to position Arts and Humanities at the forefront of an inclusive vision of mental health provision and the AHRC in the vanguard of addressing the national and global mental health challenge in the future.
