What works on rights and participation for people with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities: a rapid review

This resource from the Disability Inclusion Helpdesk explains what works to ensure that people with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities can enjoy their human rights and participate at all levels of decision-making. It summarises key issues and international commitments in these areas, and provides examples of effective interventions.

The resource sets out how people with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities can be included in all aspects of life, including in inclusive policies and laws and through receiving the support they need. The review concludes by outlining the risks and enablers for the inclusion of people with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities in development policy and programming.
