The Government's New Employment Agenda: Implications for Mental Health Service Managers

Abstract

This article proposes a new engagement between mental health services and the social inclusion and employment agendas that are a core part of the Government's programme. Initiatives such as Welfare to Work, New Deal and health action zones are explained, and suggestions are made about some of the opportunities they present for improving mental health services and the lives of service users.
