Home > Serious Mental Illness
People with serious mental illnesses struggle with more than their symptoms. Compared with the general population, they are more likely to be unemployed, live in sub-standard housing, be disconnected from friends and family and have co-occurring physical illness and substance use disorders.
Many evidence-based practices exist to help this group of people live meaningful, inclusive lives in the community. With appropriate assistance individuals can learn to better manage their illness, live independently and establish meaningful social roles.
