PERSPECTIVE
‘How Do You Pay Your Rent?’ Social Policies And The President’s Mental Health Commission
Howard H. Goldman
Mental health policy involves broad social policies related to housing, education, work disability and rehabilitation, welfare, and criminal justice. The modern era of community care has moved patients, clinicians, and policymakers from closed institutions into the mainstream of society and its health and human service systems. The importance of knowing about the broad array of human services and their policies is reflected in the deliberations and policy recommendations of the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. It is hoped that these recommendations will provide a roadmap for further change to enable people affected by severe mental illness "to live, learn, work, and participate fully in their communities."
