Welcome to the third issue of Volume 12 of the Journal of Mental Health Training, Education and
Practice. I just wanted to take this opportunity as Editor-in-Chief to update you about some
changes to our Editorial Team.
It is with regret that we have said farewell to Thurstine Basset who has been a valued Editor since
2013. However, those of you who have followed the progress of the journal since its early days
with Pavilion Publishing and in its previous guise as the Journal of Mental Health Workforce
Development will know that Thurstine has been committed to the journal since its inception, has
reviewed and written numerous papers and made an outstanding contribution in terms of service
user perspectives, carers issues and peer support. Thurstine –we thank you so much for your
time, support and contributions.
With Thurstine’s help, we are delighted to have secured the involvement of Dr David Crepaz-Keay
as our new Editor. Many of you will know David from his role with the Mental Health Foundation and
his body of research in promoting the voicesand involvement of those who use servicesand their
families, the importance of mental health awareness training, peer support and inclusivity. I know
that David is very much looking forward to his Editor role and brings a valued disciplinary
contribution to the team.
For me, this transition of Editors marks another milestone in the journal’s history. It seems that I
am now the last Editor standing who has been “in it from the beginning”. Our first edition of the
journal was published in May 2006 –and it is with great pride that we are still attracting high
quality papers across a range of mental health disciplines over a decade after it all began.
Many thanks to the Emerald team for their support with the actual publication process for each
issue and to all of you who write and review for the Journal of Mental Health Training, Education
and Practice. We look forward to the next phase in our journey.
