Reflexive Practice

Research continues to be a dirty word for many Indigenous people. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a means to disrupt power dynamics by engaging community members within the research process. However, the majority of relationships between researcher and participants within CBPR are structured within Western research paradigms and they often reproduce imbalances of power. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the process of CBPR within a research project focused on Indigenous men’s masculinity and mental health. In doing so, we aim to contribute to reflexive practice in CBPR and flatten research hierarchies to facilitate more equitable knowledge sharing. Our reflections highlight the importance of prioritizing healing, centering cultural protocols, negotiating language, and creating space for Indigenous research partners to lead. These critical lessons challenge Western researchers to ground their practices in Indigenous culture while they “sit outside the circle” to facilitate more equitable and engaged partnerships.

With the 2016 release of Zero to Three’s Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood, the eyes of the field are newly trained on assessment of the full family caregiving contexts in which children are raised. This chapter presents a conceptual model for assessing coparenting alliances in families of infants and toddlers intended to provide information to both researchers and practitioners. The chapter defines coparenting in a manner that is relevant for various family systems, identifies important elements of effective coparenting alliances, and presents a schematic for assessing quality of coparenting in the young child’s family. Guidance based on lessons learned from extensive field experience with coparenting in diverse families is provided, and both reported and observed coparenting assessment methods are discussed. Growing points for this relatively new field of infant–family mental health assessment are enumerated.

Evaluation studios of community mental health services require the research, often in the form of interviews, to be carried out in private homes which poses a particular set of issues relating to the interview environment and the organisation of the work. This paper describes the experiences of interviewing patients, staff and informal carers as part of an evaluation study of the mental health services in two psychiatric sectors in South London and makes recommendations for more effective community based research.

The importance of early childhood education has led the government to take action by issuing a policy to form the PADU Directorate (now called PAUD) in 2001. Under the auspices of the Directorate General of Education Outside School, the PADU Directorate is responsible for the development of PAUD in non-formal and formal education channels. However, the compilation reaches the community, socialization will require PAUD is still very minimal in the community who choose to send them directly to kindergarten or even at the elementary level. This is what happened in the Kandangan Community, in the discussion of PAUD for early childhood before entering a higher level. It is this dysfunction of PAUD Ar-Rahman that makes it interesting to study deeper, Why is there an inability to function in this PAUD.The method used is based on empowerment for PAUD management or management, the CBR (Community Based Research) method, using the analysis of Talcott Parsons' Structuralism Functionalism Theory. The theory used is a theory that focuses on structural work in understanding what strategies can be used in the development of PKK Ar-Rahman PAUD in Kandangan Village, Sregat District, Blitar Regency.From the results of this research, it can be concluded that after the door-to-door socialization activities. PAUD in Kandangan Village, PKK Ar-Rahman PAUD. Besides that, the community also understands that formal early childhood education is very important as an effort to support children's education for the future. The door-to-door socialization strategy is one of the socialization strategies undertaken as an effort to develop Ar-Rahman's PAUD because it will thus be in accordance with existing targets.

Ethical research practice within community-based research involves many dimensions, including a commitment to return results to participants in a timely and accessible fashion. Often, current Indigenous community-based research is driven by a partnership model; however, dissemination of findings may not always follow this approach. As a result, products may not be as useful to participants who were motivated to be involved in the research process. We conducted a seven-week workshop on three occasions with different First Nations and Metis women and girls (age 8-12) in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The workshop explored participants’ perspectives around health, safety, and family wellbeing using a strength-based, participatory approach. Participants noted that a key challenge they face when interacting with researchers, policy makers, and program staff is the lack of tailored dissemination materials. Returning results in a format that meets the expressed desire of participants is an ethical necessity to ensure that research is not perpetuating past colonial practices. Doing so quickly and with meaningful content requires careful execution and consideration, especially when working within intergenerational contexts. We describe in this paper how results were returned to families in an accessible way outlining the role that integrated knowledge exchange can play in the process of healing.
