Abstract

Co-ordinated joint service planning by all stakeholders is widely accepted as a valuable principle in the development of community support services for persons with severe mental illness. Even so, relatively little is known of the views and priorities of the different parties with regard to the elements that should make up the care and support system. This paper reports on a Dutch study in which clients, mental health care workers and community service professionals offered their opinions on what constitues a support system that enables individuals with long-term mental illness to participate in the community. The results show that the respondents regarded a stable base as an essential prerequisite for the realisation of this objective. Within this general consensus, the clients stressed the importance of advocacy and sheltered meeting places; the mental health professionals emphasised the rehabilitative elements and the representatives of the generic community services felt that the key components in any such system were crisis intervention services and co-ordination at client and system level.
