ABSTRACT

This paper reports on the reflections from members of the evaluation team – both allies and service user academics – about a co-produced approach to evaluation of the pilot of a youth-integrated therapies mental health intervention (co-evaluation). The co-evaluation is being facilitated particularly well through numerous service user academics being involved in the evaluation, and the commitment to co-production and active attendance to the responsibilities of allies by allies. However, multiple challenges still exist with significant implications for allyship. These include the need for us to ‘deepen our thinking and approaches to best accomplish authentic and effective engagement’ (Daya et al., 2020 Daya, I., B. Hamilton, and C. Roper. 2020. Authentic engagement: A conceptual model for welcoming diverse and challenging consumer and survivor views in mental health research. policy, and practice. International Journal of Mental Health Nursing 29 (2):299–311. doi:https://doi.org/10.1111/inm.v29.2.[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 300) in support of co-production specific to the context of individual projects, the fluidity of the allyship position and the need for allies to consistently reinforce their commitment in word and in deed to it. We have also identified the need to acknowledge and respect the distinction between people in roles who happen to have experience and people in roles because they have experience.

摘要

本文报告了评估团队成员（包括盟友和服务使用者学者）对联合制作的评估青年综合疗法心理健康干预试点（共同评估）的方法的反思。通过参与评估的众多服务使用者学者，以及盟国对联合制作和积极承担盟国责任的承诺，共同评估得到了特别好的促进。然而，仍然存在多重挑战，对盟友关系具有重大影响。其中包括我们需要“深化我们的思考和方法，以最好地实现真实有效的参与”（Daya 等，2020 Daya、I.、B. Hamilton和C. Roper。2020 年。真实的参与：在心理健康研究中欢迎多样化和具有挑战性的消费者和幸存者观点的概念模型。政策和实践。国际心理健康护理杂志29 (2): 299 – 311。doi：https://doi.org/10.1111/inm.v29.2。[Crossref]、[PubMed]、[Web of Science®]、 [Google Scholar], 300) 以支持特定于个别项目背景的联合制作、盟友位置的流动性以及盟友不断加强其言行承诺的需要。我们还确定需要承认和尊重碰巧有经验的角色和因为有经验而角色的人之间的区别。
