DESCRIPTION:Background  \nMigration and displacement can profoundly affect 
 women’s mental health and well-being with access and navigation of menta
 l health supports shaped by social determinants. The Care Navigation for C
 ulturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaNCALD) Women’s Project uses qual
 itative research data\, Learning Journeys and participatory creative pract
 ices to identify how cultural norms\, socioeconomic pressures\, and local 
 service structures in South-Western Sydney influence women’s ability to 
 seek and receive support. It also seeks to recognise and strengthen existi
 ng community assets that foster mental wellbeing. The aim is to co-design\
 , implement and evaluate place-based pilot solutions\, and to inform respo
 nsive\, person‑centred policy development to improve mental health and s
 ervice navigation. \n\nData collection and analysis \nIn preparation for a
  series of eight intensive co-design workshops with 20 diverse interest ho
 lders\, we sought deep community engagement through qualitative research. 
 An interview guide was constructed using the Social Determinants of Mental
  Health\, and an Assets Based Community Development Framework. Following m
 aximum variation sampling\, fifty-two in-depth interviews were conducted w
 ith 23 migrant\, refugee or asylum-seeking women with lived experience of 
 mental health concerns\, and 29 health providers\, service providers and c
 ommunity leaders in South-Western Sydney.  \n\nDrawing on assemblage theor
 y\, we assumed that research participants’ experiences of systems are ma
 de up of people\, technologies\, objects and ideas and so looked for conne
 ctions between these in the data. Three composite narratives based on thre
 e typified character profiles were constructed from aggregated interview d
 ata\, weaving together these human and non-human elements.  \n\nCo-design 
 workshop strategies \nComposite narratives communicated qualitative findin
 gs in a succinct\, accessible way to a non-academic co-design team audienc
 e.  Composite narrative texts and identified community assets were transla
 ted into interactive workshop tools (storyboards and asset cards) using il
 lustrative images generated through Leonardo.ai™. The storyboards were w
 all-mounted for a group co-design activity during a three-hour workshop. C
 o-design team members mapped the asset cards to potential leverage points 
 in women’s post-migration mental health stories. They were provided with
  blank asset cards so they could add their own ideas to the asset mapping.
  These workshop tools sensitised the co-design team to the qualitative res
 earch findings through critical engagement with social determinants of men
 tal health navigation\, and existing assets that could be mobilised or imp
 roved. The workshop was documented through written records of co-design pa
 rticipant reflections\, and photographs of the asset mapping exercise.  \n
 \nDiscussion \nPeople have always used stories as a vehicle for knowledge\
 , with many cultures drawing on rich oral history traditions. Stories invo
 ke the resonance of qualitative findings. When readers are invited to make
  their own meaning from stories\, rather than being presented with an inte
 rpretation\, they may be more likely to remember and act on the findings i
 n the own contexts and spheres of influence. Given South-Western Sydney is
  made up of close\, connected communities\, the use of composite narrative
 s strengthened the anonymity of participants. \n\nIntegrating composite na
 rratives into storyboards reduced the need for advanced English proficienc
 y\, creating a more horizontal power dynamic.  The activity generated disc
 ussion among the co-design team members about their own experiences and co
 ntributed to our reflections and interpretations of the data.  \n\nArtific
 ial intelligence in research is a new frontier raising methodological\, cy
 ber-security\, intellectual property and integrity challenges. It also cre
 ates opportunities for efficient\, creative and rigorous research processe
 s if used reflexively.  \n\nConclusion \nComposite narratives effectively 
 summarised research findings while remaining true to participant voices. T
 heir value in the co-design process was strengthened through storyboarding
 \, supporting inclusive\, participatory methods that fostered group intera
 ction and collective meaning-making.
