Supporting emotional well-being in schools in the context of austerity: An ecologically informed humanistic perspective

Abstract: Background Schools are commonly asked to take on roles that support the emotional well-being of students. These practices are in line with humanistic education theory and can be difficult to fulfil by schools. Broader ecological pressures, such as periods of austerity, are likely to add to the difficulty in meeting students' needs. Aims To explore whether professionals in schools believe that their work supporting pupils' emotional well-being has changed as a consequence of the current period of austerity. Sample This project reports the views of staff from three secondary schools in the North West of England. A purposive sample of 29 individuals, including members of the senior leadership team and newly qualified teachers, were involved. Methods All participants were interviewed about their perceptions of the impact of a sustained period of austerity upon their work. The transcripts of these interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings Educational professionals associated wider socio-political factors with a perceived increase in the need for emotional support of pupils. They reported taking on new roles and responsibilities to accommodate this and noted they are doing so with fewer resources and limited governmental support. Conclusions This paper concludes that considering humanistic education theory alongside ecological theory helps to conceptualize how socio-political factors can impact upon the emotional well-being in schools. An ecologically informed humanistic framework is depicted based upon the findings of this project as a means of understanding how these two theories complement one another and interact.

‘Like a human being, I was an equal, I wasn't just a patient’: Service users’ perspectives on their experiences of relationships with staff in mental health services

Abstract: Objectives The quality of therapeutic relationships in psychiatric services has a significant impact upon the therapeutic outcomes for people diagnosed with a severe mental illness As previous work has not explicitly explored service users' in-depth views about the emotional impact of these relationships, the objective of this work was to bring this perspective to the fore and to gain a greater understanding about which relational components can lead to psychological change Design The project was conducted alongside a service user organization An interview design was used to qualitatively explore service users' experiences and perceptions of their relationships with mental health practitioners Methods Eight individuals who had experience of the mental health system in the United Kingdom were interviewed Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the data Findings Three superordinate themes emerged from the analysis These were (1) Trying to survive: am I a person or just an object in the system?; (2) Traumatic experiences within relationships; and (3) Helpful and transformative relationships Further, the key transformative components of these relationships were power, safety, and identity Conclusions Mental health services should be more focused upon care, rather than control The Power Safety Identity (PSI) model, a reflexive model based upon key relational components highlighted by participants, is proposed for services and professionals to consider their work The components of this model are managed by mental health practitioners and can determine whether these relationships maintain, increase, or alleviate psychological distress Practitioner points Awareness of the relational components of power, safety, and identity has the potential to help practitioners reflect upon the tensions they experience in their relationships with service users Mental health services and professionals that are sensitive to issues related to power, safety, and identity when responding to the needs of the service users can improve how individuals perceive the quality of care provided by them Relationships between service users and mental health practitioners can encourage recovery if they are consistent, safe, trusting, provide protective power, and mirror a positive sense of self

The Politics of Experience

Abstract: Poet and playwright Ania Walwicz speaks about her unconventional poetic language that breaks the rules of traditional poetry, and also the surrealistic and cathartic elements prevalent in her poetry. She also believes that readers interpret her works in different ways which become distinct experiences for them as it is for her when she writes them.
