No full textMental Health Peer Support across the Life Course: exploring the experiences of the lived experience workforce across youth, adult and older adult settings
No full textParticipation of those with lived and living experience is central to recovery-oriented philosophies and practices within mental health services. Such participation provides a bridge to improving understanding between service providers and people accessing services. In doing so, lived and living experience workers often contribute to more tailored service provision and, ultimately, better outcomes for service users. Due to the siloed nature of the mental health care system, little is known about how peer work varies over the lifespan. This paper was developed and written by a combination of lived experience experts and experts by training, through a collaborative, reflexive methodology. It considers the roles of consumer and carer peer workers across the age spectrum within a single, multi-faceted, large public mental health service. We examine the shared experiences of peer workers in different parts of the service from both peer worker and non-peer worker perspectives, as well as some of the unique challenges which characterise specific cohorts. We worked collaboratively to draw out these themes, and then identify their implications for practice for other services. We also illustrate some of the potential pitfalls in implementation and development of the peer workforce within clinical settings
Learning experience and relationships among learners in online Recovery College courses: an exploratory qualitative study
No full textIntroduction: Recovery Colleges (RC) are community-based learning centers. They offer courses in mental health, well-being and recovery. RC courses are co-constructed and co-facilitated by two trainers with complementary knowledge. Learners come from diverse backgrounds ensuring a variety of expertise and experiences. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of RC courses for learners. The mechanisms of action specific to RC explains the benefits. Studies about the mechanisms of action of RC show the importance of the social environment of RC. The Centre d\u27apprentissage Santé et Rétablissement (CASR) is a Canadian French-language RC offering free online courses to the public. Objectives: The study aims to answer two research question: 1- How do learners of CASR’s online courses describe their learning experience? 2- How do learners of CASR’s online courses describe the relationships they experienced? Methods: An exploratory qualitative study consisting of ten individual interviews followed by a thematic analysis was conducted. Results: Participants describe their learning experiences in terms of the characteristics of the CASR course space: inclusive and benevolent learning space; connected, supportive, and egalitarian space for interaction; collaborative and co-constructed knowledge space. Participants describe the relationships in terms of: equality; respect and non-judgment; recognition and belonging; collaboration and mutual support. Conclusion: The results confirm the existence of mechanisms of action in CASR courses like those identified in previous studies. The learning context of the CASR prompts some participants to prioritize their personal roles over their professional roles during courses. By exposing their vulnerability, they show humility and encounter equal relationships.
 
Editorial
No full textSince the inception of the Turtle Island Journal of Indigenous Health (TIJIH) in 2019, one of the primary goals of this journal has been to amplify and rightly celebrate Indigenous Knowledges within health research and beyond (Monteith & Tan, 2020). An emphasis on holding space for Indigenous student leadership, voices, and research projects in an otherwise dominantly Western academic context has been an intentional priority over the past several years. Since then, the journey has been humbling and non-linear, with many challenges and delays along the way. Nonetheless, this primary core of TIJIH has never been lost, and it is with immense gratitude that we are able to share this long-awaited fourth issue of the journal with our community.

Student-Faculty Co-Creation of Open Educational Resources for Learning Applied Statistics with Open Source Software Tools
No full textIn most university courses, students learn from textbooks they did not help develop. We present an innovative approach where undergraduate students collaborated with faculty to create an open-access, interactive web-based e-book for an introductory applied statistics course. This process transforms undergraduates into co-authors rather than passive readers, fosters an appreciation for reproducible research, encourages academic collaboration, and offers diverse, hands-on opportunities to acquire and apply new skills and technologies. Faculty also benefit from fresh ideas and new perspectives. This type of collaboration is important to explore, as evidence on student-faculty partnerships in developing course materials is sparse in the literature, particularly in a Canadian context and in the area of statistics. In this paper, we illustrate the contributions of undergraduate students to curricular innovation in the development of the e-book by describing the development process, methodology and software tools used, and reflect on our experience as collaborators alongside faculty. Our participation deepened our learning, while producing resources to benefit future learners. We highlight the potential of open-source technologies and student-faculty collaboration to support the development of adaptive, interactive, and accessible resources for statistical education
Thinking society and cultural practices in the (digital) hybrid age: Notes and queries on Media Ecology ResearchThinking society and cultural practices in the (digital) hybrid age: Notes and queries on Media Ecology Research
No full textLooking at the role of information and contemporary media ecology means examining society from a complex approach, as a whole system, considering its political, economic, and cultural dynamics. The Internet is not a mirror of physical interactions, but a new configuration of reality that produces new places of living in society: hybrid public spaces (blending of no-presential and presential interactions). The hybrid (digital) age must be thought of in a double movement: on the one hand, as the result of a precise state of contemporary societies, the result of cultural referents (memes) that shape collective identities, and, on the other hand, our cultural productions, their valuation methods and ways of integrating these values into existing (and new) communities. Today, new communication technologies are redefining social relations, cultural practices, and economic and political orders, where the major issues are disinformation and citizen manipulation. A main question guides this epistemological exploration: how function the interdepend paths between technology and society, global values and local cultural practices, and socio-economic actors and “mediatized realities”? Some examples of ethnography on migrants and youth gangs will be analyzed for this purpose
