Abstract
Increasingly, mental health is regarded as fundamental to a person's overall health. As communities mobilize to improve mental health outcomes, activities designed to improve well-being can be integrated into these approaches. Although well-being is generally perceived as being associated with mental health, it has not been culturally operationalized for marginalized and oppressed groups. The authors participated in the coproduction of a well-being model for young Black adults and a workbook, filling a gap by translating research into practice. Researchers are encouraged to engage in strategies to jointly create well-being tools to support the mental health of individuals who have been underserved, understudied, and underrepresented.
期刊介绍:
Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
