This issue both expands our thinking about how narrative ideas can be applied, as well as reporting on two projects initiated by Dulwich Centre.

Part One of the journal features three papers on mental health and families: 'Children, parents, and mental health' by Dulwich Centre; 'Growing up with parents with mental health difficulties' by Ruth Pluznick and Natasha Kis-Sines; and 'When your child is diagnosed with schizophrenia: The skills and knowledges of parents' by Amanda Worrall.

Part Two, 'Alternative assessments: Looking for subordinate stories' features the article 'Narrative approaches in Centrelink: "It's those turning questions . . ."' by Lesley Dalyell.

Finally, Part Three documents Dulwich Centre's 'Women and Grief' Project, which features contributions from around the world.

In all, this issue is both profound and moving in its content, as well as stimulating and rigorous in its application of ideas in new ways and contexts - showing that, as narrative practice is engaged with around the world, the ideas are being taken up in innovative and generative ways.
