For people with severe mental health issues or for those who have experienced abuse at the hands of people they trusted (whether a loved one, stranger, medical provider, or service) there may be good reasons to want to avoid doing a recorded interview. Less formal conversations during our extended fieldwork have allowed us to explore how distress can be caused by issues like poverty, the cost-of-living crisis, state institutions (like schools, prisons, hospitals), families, discrimination, as well as other cultural factors.

Additionally, it is framed as an individual issue of mental illness, with social and cultural contexts rarely discussed.

The centre is also developing relationships with regional groupings of national pesticide regulators, including the Asia Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC), to strengthen regional capacity and collaboration on the identification, reporting, regulation, replacement and monitoring of highly toxic pesticides. There has already been some success, with a ban on one rodenticide introduced earlier this year. With CPSP’s support, the state has also taken steps to improve data collection and recording of suicides and poisonings. This will help them make a more informed decision in the future. What next?
