PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH & CAPABILITIES: A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Recovery as Freedom: The Capabilities Framework

People are the real wealth of nations…

Development

Should…

…Enlarge Human Freedoms

…Expand People’s Choices to Lead Full & Creative Lives

…Include people as Beneficiaries & Agents of its progress and change

…Build on the participation of each person

Capabilities are substantive freedoms…

“…beings and doings that people have reason to value”

Two aspects of substantive freedomsOpportunity

freedom to achieve valued functionings – being safe, healthy, functionally literate, able to participate in civic life; able to participate in family and social life; having options for working, for housing

Process ability to take action in certain spheres of life - self-determination, participation, practical reason

:What really matters to the community?

Participation as Method

Community Based Participatory Research

• a collaborative approach

• combines inquiry, action & reflection

• expands opportunities for people given MH diagnoses to live Decent, Dignified & Distinctive lives

Recovery: Personal & Social Meanings

• Rediscovering meaning and purpose after a series of catastrophic events which mental illness is. Deegan, psychologist & activist

A personal journey of actively self-managing a psychiatric disorder while reclaiming, gaining & maintaining a positive sense of self, roles & life beyond the mental health system, in spite of the challenge of psychiatric disability.....Recovery is supported by a foundation based on hope, belief, personal power, respect, connections & self-determination.

Onken, Dumont et al, Mental Health Recovery

• The process in which people are able to live, work, learn and participate fully in their communities New Freedom Commission

A Lens on Human Development: Behavioral Health Conditions

Sources Health - Colton & Manderscheid (2006)Literacy - Sentell and Shumway (2003) Income - Vick Jones Mitra (2011)

Life Expectancy25-32 years less than general population.

Marginal Literacy RatesHalf as likely as the general

population to be at least marginally literate

[50% v 75%]

Income Below Poverty Line3x more likely among Households where a

member has a MH Disability

Behavioral Health Conditions

denial of a full lifespan

denial of choice of tradition

denial of education

denial of unfettered

communication

denial of participation in the market

denial of civil rights

denial of human rights denial of participation in

a democratic society

Unfreedoms

denial of agency

Reflection on theCenter’s Participatory Method

What Makes Us a Participatory Center?

• Develop a shared, structured conceptualization – a Concept Map of the Center’s CBPR approach

• CBPR Discussions by self identified role: Researcher, Advocate, Mixed

1. GROUP PROCESS to: – Brainstorm “What makes us a participatory center?”– Sort statements based on perceived similarity– Rate importance of each statement

2. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS to develop:• 2-D map of the statements similarity (Multidimensional scaling)• 3-D map that incorporated Importance & Cohesion • Clusters of the mapped statements (Cluster analysis)

3. GROUP PROCESS to interpret the Map

Concept Mapping

Further Reflections on Participation

• Community defined by a characteristic/interest rather than Geography

What is the price for CBPR/activist infused research to happen? - Conflicts based on Identity/Role:– Action + Research – when and how?– Re examine power and decision making– Success & Role Expectations - How do we define

our success together as partners?
