ABSTRACT

This chapter explores practice implications, it moves to the third of our four levels of intervention, namely the community level. This involves focusing on how issues like housing, employment, relationships, reciprocity and respect need to be addressed at a community level. It highlights some of the steps that need to be taken in order to destigmatize mental health problems. Consequently, the emphasis was on removing people with mental health problems from the community, an approach that gave rise to exaggerated fears, high levels of stigma and a failure to explore the potentially positive role of the community in addressing mental health issues. Community education initiatives can be divided into two separate but related groups. First, there will be health promotion initiatives aimed at people with mental health problems and/or who are concerned about developing such problems. Second, there will be initiatives aimed at the wider public.
