Thomas underwent a psychiatric assessment at the ED, where his level of distress was given a context: a history of torture and trauma as a political prisoner in another country. Thomas and his family had migrated to Australia many years ago, however his medical notes indicated that he recently experienced depression following victimisation and bullying in his workplace. Following his voluntary admission to the hospital’s psychiatric inpatient unit, Thomas underwent further assessment. According to his medical notes, “last evening [Thomas] became very upset and lost his temper … and felt out of control. So he packed his bags with the intention of getting away so that he would not harm anyone. He had no intention of harming anyone. He went into the Emergency Department because he felt he needed help.” The medical notes at every stage of Thomas’s admission indicated the risk of harm to himself and to others as “significant” and made a further alert that he was “homicidal/suicidal”. Thomas was seen by a psychiatrist who recommended he see a social worker and be linked to counselling services. At no stage did Thomas receive information about his rights as a voluntary patient. He was not provided with services for his preexisting diabetes, nor was he checked for ‘sharps’ or any other dangerous goods despite being noted as “homicidal/suicidal”. Nursing staff noted that Thomas had a poor appetite, however there were no notes indicating referral to a dietician. Of greater concern was the food he was provided with, which was inappropriate for his religious background. After some time, Thomas became concerned that his ‘treatment’ involved nothing more than medication and did not include any referral to a social worker, psychologist, or community counselling service, despite this being recommended by a psychiatrist. These concerns were expressed to both a hospital doctor and nurse. When no action was forthcoming, Thomas informed the hospital of his intention to discharge himself, which was his right as a voluntary patient. Thomas was not told at this time that if he attempted to leave, or refused his prescribed medication, then his patient status would change to ‘involuntary’. Not confident about his standard of treatment, Thomas refused medication and attempted to leave the ward. According to his medical notes, he was “aggressive and argumentative”. Thomas was consequently reclassified as an involuntary patient and put into seclusion. The Approval of/Authority for Seclusion form indicated the view that Thomas was secluded in part because he was an absconding risk. Thomas spent 6 ½ hours in seclusion. Thomas was stripped of his clothing and woke up in seclusion clothed only in his underpants. No consideration was given to Thomas’s past history of political imprisonment and torture, or his religious beliefs regarding the removal of clothing. Thomas was not provided with an explanation of his change of patient status (voluntary to involuntary) nor why he was being placed in seclusion. He did not receive a debriefing session after his seclusion experience. Having supposedly met the criteria for involuntary admission throughout the time he was secluded, Thomas was then found to be well enough to be discharged as a voluntary patient the next day without any followupplanned. Thomas’s seclusion suggests it was used as a punishment rather than a ‘therapeutic intervention’. As a result of his involuntary seclusion, Thomas now experiences insomnia, nightmares, stress, tension, pain and a lack of trust in the public mental health care service. He continues to have flashbacks of torture, flashbacks of hospitalisation and now has chronic depression. Thomas says his life has “stood still” since his hospitalisation.

Question 26 – A trigger is a stimulus that sets off a memory of a trauma or a specific portion of a traumatic experience. A trigger can be any sensory reminder of the traumatic event: a noise, smell, temperature, other physical sensation, or visual scene. Triggers can generalize to any characteristic, no matter how remote, that resembles or represents a previous trauma, such as revisiting the location where the trauma occurred, being alone, having your children reach the same age that you were when you experienced the trauma, seeing the same breed of dog that bit you, or hearing loud voices. Triggers are often associated with the time of day, season, holiday, or anniversary of the event. A flashback is re-experiencing a previous traumatic experience as if it were actually happening in that moment. It includes reactions that often resemble the client’s reactions during the trauma. Flashback experiences are very brief and typically last only a few seconds, but the emotional after effects linger for hours or longer. A trigger commonly initiates flashbacks. Your role will be important to help consumers identify potential triggers, draw a connection between strong emotional reactions and triggers, and develop coping strategies to manage those moments when a flashback occurs resulting from a trigger. Identify a minimum of FIVE ways in which you can help the consumer with managing their triggers and flashbacks: Question 27 – Self-advocacy is when a person acts on their own behalf, in their own interests rather than being represented by someone else. Self-advocacy is pivotal to self-empowerment as it enables the individual to feel they are in control and autonomous. Encouraging and promoting self-advocacy is important to their recovery, one of the ways in which you can support self-advocacy is by linking the person to appropriate resources that will be conducive to their needs. Identify a minimum of FOUR resources and/or referral options that may be beneficial for the consumer: Question 28 – In no more than one paragraph explain why you think behaviours such as suicidality and selfharm are prevalent in people who have experienced interpersonal trauma in their lifetime?
