Flinders University

The mental health research team's program of mental health research is focused on projects that respond to the mental health needs of individuals, families and the community across a range of healthcare settings. Research projects are situated within a philosophy of recovery and aim to:

• provide evidence to guide clinical practice in mental health care settings
• be responsive to the future roles of mental health professionals and the evolution of mental health nursing.  

Our work facilitates collaborative relationships between nursing partners, multidisciplinary colleagues and stakeholders. 

Our current projects include:

• Absconding
• Risk assessment and management
• Seclusion, containment and physical restraint
• Homelessness and mental illness

Information about each project, publications and other resources for clinicians and researchers can be obtained by clicking on the above links.

We also have a range of teaching resources and professional and industry links.
