“…Working within existing community social structures and across a broad cross section of the community—with Elders, youth, local faith leaders and community groups—helps to establish respectful and collaborative relationships. Measures to access broad input and community guidance will result in treatment models, services and strategies that meet the diversity of mental health needs [ 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”

Addressing the psychological mechanisms and structural inequalities that underpin mental health issues is critical to recovery following disasters and pandemics. The Asia Pacific Disaster Mental Health Network was established in June 2020 in response to the current disaster climate and to foster advancements in disaster-oriented mental health research, practice and policy across the region. Supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) Thematic Platform for Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health EDRM), the network brings together leading disaster psychiatry, psychology and public health experts. Our aim is to advance policy, research and targeted translation of the evidence so that communities are better informed in preparation and response to disasters, pandemics and mass trauma. The first meetings of the network resulted in the development of a regional disaster mental health agenda focused on the current context, with five priority areas: (1) Strengthening community engagement and the integration of diverse perspectives in planning, implementing and evaluating mental health and psychosocial response in disasters; (2) Supporting and assessing the capacity of mental health systems to respond to disasters; (3) Optimising emerging technologies in mental healthcare; (4) Understanding and responding appropriately to addressing the mental health impacts of climate change; (5) Prioritising mental health and psychosocial support for high-risk groups. Consideration of these priority areas in future research, practice and policy will support nuanced and effective psychosocial initiatives for disaster-affected populations within the Asia Pacific region.

“…Those of GRT background are often not perceived as having culturally specific needsor needs that vary among themand are somehow separated from other immigrant or ethnically marginalised communities. Perhaps an appropriate analogy is with Australian and American First Nation populations, who continue to face enormous racism and exclusion 13 that has historically been state sanctioned.…”

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities have considerably worse mental health outcomes than the general population and many other ethnic minority groups. We argue that there is a dynamic, interplaying ‘accessibility mismatch’, resulting in a failure of healthcare services to adequately understand and work with GRT communities in a meaningful way. The consequences are limited engagement and poor health outcomes. Contact with services is often at crisis points, such as in forensic services, which reinforces existing prejudice. Research is limited, and therefore so is the evidence base. It is critical that the UK's National Health Service takes a culturally informed approach to co-produce services that are accessible and responsive to GRT communities. Here we offer practical actions that healthcare organisations can undertake to help redress imbalances and increase equity of healthcare outcomes for these overlooked populations.

“…Among the populations who present to psychiatric services in the developed world, structural violence disproportionately befalls persons who are Black, Indigenous, people of colour, 2SLGBTQIAþ, economically disadvantaged, precariously housed or homeless, and people who use drugs-manifesting as stark inequities in health outcomes and mortality. [3][4][5] Our recent sociopolitical zeitgeist of mobilization around anti-racism and dismantling systemic oppression-sparked by the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis on May 25th, 2020-has catalyzed a pedagogical transformation in academic medicine. Medical leadership who were previously unattuned to the role of systemic oppression in medicine are now seeking expert guidance on its integration into core medical curricula, lest their institutions get left behind in the tide of progress.…”

Structural Violence Education: A Critical Moment for Psychiatric Training

et al. 2021

The mental health ramifications of structural violence are borne disproportionately by marginalized patient populations in North America, which includes Black, Indigenous, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and people who use drugs. Structural violence can comprise, for example, police or state violence, colonialism, and medical violence. We chronicle the history of psychiatric discourse around structural violence over the past 50 years and highlight the critical need for new formalized competencies to become incorporated into the training of medical students across Canada, specifically addressing the impacts of structural violence for the aforementioned populations. Finally, we offer a framework of learning objectives for designing educational sessions discussing structural violence and mental health for integration into pre-clerkship psychiatry curricula at medical schools across Canada.
