3 videos • 47 views • by Temple University Collaborative Community inclusion and participation in a wide range of areas – including work, school, social relationships, and leisure activities – are vitally important during the period of young adulthood, yet can be challenging for those who experience a serious mental illness. This 3-part webinar, designed for a mental health service provider audience, will provide attendees with knowledge needed to promote community inclusion and participation among this young adult population. In session 1, attendees will be provided a basic introduction to the concepts of community inclusion and community participation, why they are important, and what research indicates about the current state of community participation among young adults with serious mental illnesses. Sessions 2-3 will describe principles and practices that comprise a ‘community inclusion approach’ and offer real-world examples for how mental health service providers can expand community inclusion initiatives and navigate implementation barriers.
