Interventions

One of the key objectives of this network is to plan interventions and services that help prevent, reduce and address domestic and sexual violence in people with mental health problems or at risk of developing mental health problems.

A substantial proportion of the general public are affected directly or indirectly by violence, abuse, and associated mental health problems.  Ultimately, this network aims to reduce violence, abuse and mental health problems, through education for children and young people on abusive relationships, the development of more appropriate interventions and trauma informed care, and more effective support for people with mental health problems who are survivors of violence or abuse.  

Research in this area will examine the impact of violence and abuse on access to, and effectiveness of, mental health interventions, while also facilitating the development and evaluation of interventions to reduce mental health problems associated with violence or abuse.

This theme includes the improvement of the effectiveness of mental health interventions by ensuring they address violence and abuse and are gender-sensitive. The network will also investigate interventions using technological solutions (including working with technology providers to improve safety for people at risk of mental health problems and abuse).
​
There are currently a number of ongoing projects centred around this theme.
