People with mental health problems are at risk of tenancy breakdown. This study investigates the risk factors associated with a loss of tenancy. Four risk factors were identified: lack of support following a crisis; regular contact with services; lapses of housing benefit following hospital admission; and having no support other than the specialist resettlement team. The implications of these risk factors are discussed.

Background: There is a growing evidence base for the use of participatory arts for the purposes of health promotion. In recent years, recovery approaches in mental healthcare have become commonplace in English speaking countries amongst others. There are few studies that bring together these two fields of practice. Aims: The two aims of this study were (a) to investigate the validity of the CHIME framework for characterising the experience of Participatory Arts and (b) to use the CHIME framework to investigate the relationship between participatory arts and mental health recovery. Method: The study employed a two-phase methodology: a rapid review of relevant literature followed by secondary analysis of qualitative data collected from 38 people who use mental health service who took part in participatory arts activities designed to improve mental health. Results: Each of the recovery processes identified by CHIME are present in the qualitative research literature as well as in the data of the secondary analysis. Conclusions: Participatory arts activities produce outcomes which support recovery, specifically including enhancing connectedness and improving hope. They can be recommended to people living with mental health problems. (Publisher abstract)

This brief summary guide provides ideas for working with service users, both those with mental health problems and those with addiction or dependency, in a recovery orientated fashion. The guide is based on two beliefs; first, that recovery is something worked towards and experienced by the person with the problem, it is not something a service can do to the person; and secondly every journey of recovery is individual. The role of the staff is to provide support. The guide looks at recovery tasks, the personal recovery framework and the central importance of relationships and peer involvement. Traditional and recovery-orientated services are compared. A link is provided to the full 32 page guide published by Rethink which identifies 100 action points for staff in supporting recovery.
Routine use of mental health outcome assessments: choosing the measure

The aim was to investigate the relationship between the items in four staff-rated measures recommended for routine use. Correlation analysis of total scores and factor analysis using combined data from the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS). The Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Appraisal Schedule (CANSAS), the Threshold Assessment Grid (TAG) and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) were performed. Procrustes analysis on factors and scales, and Ward's cluster analysis to group the items, were applied. The total scores of the measures were moderately correlated. The Procrustes analysis, factor analysis and cluster analysis all agreed on better coverage of the patients' problems by HoNOS and CANSAS. A global severity factor accounts for 16% of the variance, and is best measured with TAG or GAF. The CANSAS and HoNOS each provide a detailed characterisation of the patient; only CANSAS provides information about met needs.

This book evaluates a range of research methodologies and examines what types of 'evidence' have been appealed to. It comprises an historical and conceptual analysis of what was regarded as evidence and how this has impacted on mental health care. Presenting different methodological approaches it discusses their strengths and weaknesses in providing evidence, an how evidence is applied in different treatment and care modalities. Different angles on the the way forward for providing evidence to improve current treatments are scrutinised.
