🌀 Being with – simply being there.
In Soteria, healing doesn’t mean control – it means relationship.
We sit with, not above.
We listen, not dismiss.
We are present, not absent.

Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t an intervention,
but a human being who stays – calm, present, and compassionate.

Does anyone have any idea why so many psychiatric hospitals have a problem with disclosing their data on coercive measures? A lot could be learnt from this and psychiatric services could be encouraged to reduce their coercive practices. #psychiatry #coercivemeasures #mentalhealth #restraintreduction

Psychiatry needs a change of scenery, a paradigm shift.

Respite homes, Soteria, and runaway houses are essential alternatives to conventional inpatient psychiatry—yet they often remain overshadowed by traditional care structures. It’s time for these approaches to gain greater recognition in psychiatric nursing!

Coercive practices (e.g. physical restraint) on mental health wards can have lasting harmful effects for service users.

Service user, carer or inpatient staff member?
Share your views and help shape the support available after restraint.

Nice to see the Bluesky community growing especially with users who are ready for a #PSYCHIATRY-PARADIGM-SHIFT towards a human rights-based psychiatry #trauma-informed-care approach.
I look forward to exciting discussions on how best to reduce & ultimately abolish #coercive_measures in psychiatry.

Moderated and structured debriefings after coercive measures, grounded in trauma-informed care, allow for reflection by both patients and staff. The goal is to identify ways to completely avoid the use of coercive measures, fostering a more supportive and respectful environment.

We need human rights-based approaches for psychiatry. A good foundation for a paradigm shift is provided by peers, recovery, empowerment, soteria and trialogue. However, we still need a lot of attitude change and legislation.

The European Violence in Psychiatry Research Group (EViPRG) is a mental health research-focused network with more than 120 members in Europe. The vision is to work together to reduce coercion in mental health services, improve competency and quality of practice & address ongoing human rights issues.
