Community Ment Health J. 2023 Oct 3. doi: 10.1007/s10597-023-01189-9.

Four service use and informal support...

Contextual Factors of Mental Health Crisis Calls to Law Enforcement: A Brief Report
This study is an exploratory, descriptive assessment of contextual factors, both individual and situational, of mental health and suicide crisis calls. Our dataset includes 166 calls to 9-1-1 related to a mental health emergency or suicide crisis. The majority were calls related to suicide (125 calls, 75%), which included more contextual factors than mental health crisis calls. Most calls resulted in the subject being transferred to the local emergency department (60%) or were resolved on scene (12%). Police use of force was rare, and no arrests were reported. The implications of these findings for communities developing a...

A Constructivist Grounded Theory Study on Mental Health Recovery from a Lived Experience Perspective in Singapore
This study explores the notion of recovery from the lens of people experiencing mental health challenges in Singapore. We adopted a constructivist grounded theory perspective to evaluate qualitative data from 21 participants. The core category which best represented what recovery meant was "reconciling and living with experiences of mental ill-health". Our findings suggest that a variety of societal aspects greatly influence perceptions of mental health recovery in Singapore, as participants often shared their desire to live a meaningful life within society but could only do so if they found a way to manage their symptoms ...
