Community participation is a human right and a medical necessity. Individuals who live with serious mental health challenges face barriers to participation in domains such as education, employment, leisure & recreation, and dating and parenting. I want to break down the barriers and focus on facilitators to participation in areas that are meaningful to myself and the individuals I support.
