Don't know how much you can do ina systme which is not always humane. Lot out there about patients managing their own mental health symtoms includng psychotic symptoms, manic depression and self harm etc. Better results. Some taking it up and using it some ignoring it despite research and reduced hospitalisation and sticking to Medical model.
Self Help models and books on line.
Do what you can.
How about writing a help leaflet with professionals and users "How to Stay on a Mental Health Ward without Going Mad. Like how to concentrate on the reason you are there and your problems without being affected by everything else going on. How to avoid institutionalisation and adopting habits from others.
