Social Inclusion of Mentally ILL Persons

Wednesday, 18 July 2018: 15:30-17:20
Location: 802A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC49 Mental Health and Illness (host committee)

Language: Spanish and English

According to the WHO, a mentally healthy individual is productive and adequately compensated from their work and contributes to their community. Nevertheless,only a small proportion of mentally ill persons are fully included in society. Their social inclusion is blocked by stigma,over protective familes who require them to play the sick role, and psychosocial treatments that teach them to be passive and obedient(a type of violence).This session invites submissions on mechanisms of social exclusion of the mentally ill, and programs to over come social barriers to inclusion. Abstracts including themes of gender and social inclusion of mentally ill persons are especially welcome.
