No More “Us” and “Them”: Integrating Recovery and Well-Being into a Conceptual Model for Mental Health Policy
Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
15 December 2015
Abstract
To set the stage for this special edition on Responses to the Mental Health Strategy for Canada: Canadian and International Perspectives on Mobilizing Change, we discuss the role of ideas in the public policy literature and the influence of key ideas over the history of mental health policy. Drawing on academic and policy literature and feedback from a convenience sample of mental health policy makers, we integrate the concepts of recovery and well-being into a conceptual model that can be used by policy makers as a tool to realize the transformative ideas captured in the Mental Health Strategy for Canada.
Résumé
Afin de jeter les bases de ce numéro spécial intitulé Mettre en oeuvre la Stratégie en matière de santé mentale pour le Canada : des perspectives canadiennes et d'ailleurs dans le monde, dans cet article, nous discutons d'abord du rôle des idées tel qu'il est rapporté dans la littérature sur les politiques publiques, ainsi que de l'influence de certaines grandes idées sur l’évolution des politiques en matière de santé mentale. Ensuite, en nous appuyant sur des recherches en politiques publiques et d'autres documents pertinents, de même que sur les points de vue de décideurs publics du domaine de la santé mentale (un échantillon de commodité que nous avons constitué), nous élaborons un modèle conceptuel qui intègre les notions de rétablissement et de bien-être. Ce modèle pourra servir d'outil aux décideurs qui ont à mettre en oeuvre les idées transformatrices énoncées dans Changer les orientations – Stratégie en matière de santé mentale pour le Canada.
