Reducing Gendered Harm in Involuntary Mental Health Service Provision

非自愿的心理健康治疗往往令人痛苦，女性报告了额外的性别层面的伤害。这项研究利用行动研究框架，利用服务使用者、家庭和专业人员的声音，旨在制定更好的应对妇女急性精神痛苦的战略，重点是减少胁迫。预期成果包括提高对强制精神卫生治疗对妇女的经验和影响的了解，以及共同设计的在线资源，支持在一线精神卫生保健中发展有效、现实和非强制性的做法。该项目将为国家和国际层面的精神卫生改革提供实质性的好处。

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.
