"Talk to me, not my illness": relevance of human rights and social justice in child and adolescent mental health intervention
No full textClinical intervention in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) not only needs to ensure appropriate service but it must also reflect a commitment to uphold the rights of young people to be actively involved in professional decision making that affect their lives. In the context of convincing evidence regarding negative impact of global climate change on mental health, the promotion of self-sustainability appears crucial through strength based approaches such as participation and autonomy in the healing and treatment process. The intervention pathways chosen by the multidisciplinary team must work to build the resilience of children and young people and facilitate the development of self-reliance in their lives. The authors observed that active participation of children and young people in the CAMHS treatment process is still in the early stage due to lack of wider social recognition regarding centrality of children's mental health, and their credibility to actively participate in the treatment process. However, this paper argues that effective and just intervention must ensure the appropriate participation of the children in all stages of their treatment programme, in the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

Women-only space facilitating empowerment
No full textFeminist analyses of women's position have identified the gendered dichotomy between public and private spaces and places, where men have occupied the public, valued space and women have been restricted to the 'home' - private spaces where caring and domestic work occur but which are invisible and devalued. The inequities related to women's limited access to certain environments and spaces have been well documented. One of the outcomes of the Women's Movement of the 20th century was to expose these inequities and to create safe spaces for women in more public spheres which included women-only spaces as part of women-centred social services. These spaces (and in many cases the women-centered services that have sanctioned them) are increasingly threatened by gender neutral social policies and fragmented service funding.
This paper will describe the broader significance of women-only spaces as places where women's health and well-being can be holistically addressed. It is argued that women-only spaces provide opportunities for women to escape cycles of poverty and disadvantage. They are also places which can foster and enhance women's empowerment and activism. The paper draws on the experiences of an Australian organisation, North Queensland Combined Women's Services Inc. (The Women's Centre) which operates in a hostile sociopolitical climate where bureaucrats are hesitant to name a specific commitment to women in case this is interpreted as a lack of commitment to men. 'Sameness' has replaced concepts of 'equity' and feminist analyses of women's disadvantage are silenced. An exploration of tensions and contradictions experienced by the Women's Centre within an increasingly hostile political, social, environmental and economic climate will contribute to the discussion surrounding the future use of women-only spaces and their contribution to women's development
