Research Showcase bibliography

CMHDARN Research Showcase

The Research Showcase is a comprehensive bibliography highlighting the research contributions of our sector. It features an extensive list of peer-reviewed articles and influential publications by NADA/MHCC members and stakeholders over the past five years.

We’d love to showcase your work! Please forward your article to the CMHDARN Project Coordinator.

Why showcase research?

Research is a vital contribution to knowledge. In community settings, especially where mental health and alcohol and other drugs (AOD) issues intersect, research is often seen as a luxury that time-poor, resource-constrained organizations cannot afford. However, this perspective needs to be challenged. The sustainability and longevity of the community sector depend on innovation, knowledge creation, and sharing.

Research in mental health and AOD has the potential to significantly improve services, practices, and people’s lives. The nexus between mental health and AOD is an area that requires our attention. Insights gained from research should be translated into better practices and shared across projects, programs, and sectors. This fosters communities of practice and maximizes the potential of new knowledge.

Building research capacity involves showcasing research engagement and successes. This document aims to share research developed by, and with, the mental health and AOD NGO sectors.

The Research Showcase

The Research Showcase provides a bibliography of largely peer-reviewed research published by MHCC and NADA member organisations and CMHDARN members covering a range of areas of practice. The bibliography is organised into the following thematic areas, although there is often considerable overlap among these areas:

  • Co-existing needs
  • Alcohol and other drugs
  • Mental health
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
  • Homelessness
  • LGBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and intersex communities)
  • Rural and remote communities
  • Young people
