This book aims to produce a resource that enables people in the mental health world better to understand the world of regeneration, and vice versa, within the framework of government-funded regeneration initiatives, and the National Service Framework for Mental Health, which places a heightened emphasis on social inclusion. The commitment to social inclusion and the development of sustainable communities presents opportunities to reduce the incidence of mental health problems within communities, make a positive contribution to each community's sense of itself as a place to live and enable those with severe mental health problems to play a full part in the life of these communities. This publication aims to promote imaginative, flexible and effective partnership working at local level to achieve these goals. [SMD]
