Abstract

This paper presents two case studies in mental health co-design through a community of practice lens and involving collaborators that extend the traditional binary of 'users' and 'stakeholders'. The co-design was undertaken outside the service sector and oriented towards creating and producing innovative praxis and creative products in service to community-based mental health and rural suicide prevention. By inviting lived experience and creative design practitioners into a mental health co-design community of practice, the paper contends that relational engagements form the container for co-design and allow forms of ethically sensitive and creative community-based mental health design that embody therapeutic activism grounded in place.
