- Sensitive self harm and mental health research in South Asia: How to best support local researchers
This talk was given as part of a symposium titled: "AFTER TRAUMA: NARRATIVE AND APPLIED APPROACHES".
The talk focused on understanding of the impact of working with sensitive topics such as self-harm and mental health illness where there is a lack of evidence from capacity building projects with partners from the Global North and South where local research assistants are employed. Research with trained health professionals suggests experiences of distress, helplessness and even trauma when working with sensitive topics. The presentation drew on the experiences from research assistants of the South-Asia Self-Harm Initiative (SASHI) project We used a reflective collaborative approach as outlined by Finlay and Gough (2003). We payed particular attention to the social, economic and cultural context, as self-harm and mental health illness are topics associated with taboos, stigma and potential marginalisation in South Asia. Based on our experiences, we shared lessons learned and formulate recommendations for good research practice.

- SASHI Networking Event
SASHI Networking event Manchester
This was an international networking event put on by the SASHI research project to bring practitioners and academics from different backgrounds and service users together to meet and to discuss research needs in the area of self harm and suicide in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This interactive event provided a forum for people from different backgrounds to come together and explore different view points. Research questions with real world relevant were developed and SASHI will further facilitate the development of these. Interest groups of people have formed who will explore taking specific research ideas forward.
Summary: This was an international networking event put on by the South Asia Self Harm Initiative to bring practitioners, academics and service users together to meet and to discuss research needs in the area of self harm and suicide in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This interactive event provided a forum for people from different backgrounds to come together and explore different points of view. Research questions with real world relevant were developed and SASHI will further facilitate the development of these (also see: http://sashi.bangor.ac.uk/news/networking-event-in-manchester-6th-of-november-38753)
Underpinning research: This was part of the South Asia Self Harm Initiative programme of work which is reaching out to reduce suicide and self harm in South Asia whilst also facilitating reserach capacity building.
Beneficiaries: Beneficiaries include practitioners, researchers and service users from Low and Middle Income and High Income Countries.
