Social support is the everyday assistance offered by family,
friends, neighbours and colleagues, as well as the foundations of
support in a range of non-clinical settings, and plays a vital role
in a person's mental health and wellbeing. This book examines the
nature of social support and offers a practical approach to how it
can be enhanced. Focusing on the relationships between service
users and supporters , it examines service users' experiences of
issues of identity, stigma, social exclusion and social networks.
Individual chapters look in depth at how social support is enacted
in close relationships, educational institutions and in the world
of employment. The nature of 'community' is explored with
particular reference to how service users can be supported into
greater engagement with social networks. Demonstrating the
importance of social perspectives on mental health, this book is
essential reading for practitioners, students and educators in
mental health, social and community work, community mental health
nursing and occupational therapy.
