Community Inclusion of People with Serious Mental Illnesses
According to the World Health Organization, participation is a human right. People with serious mental health conditions should, could, and would participate fully in the community. My research aims to unpack possible positive health impact of community participation. Through my research investigation, I argue that community participation is not only a human right, but also a medical necessity.
