Abstract

This paper follows a project undertaken by the University of Zululand in conjunction with local organisations. A description of the Zululand Mental Health Community Psychology Programme provides an example of progress through partnerships between the University and those groups. It also examines the mental health model in relation to the social action, organisational, ecological and phenomenological models of community psychology in the Zululand context. A holistic, community psychological mental health model is introduced, based on promotion and prevention models.
