Item description from seller

Paperback. Mental health does not exist in a vacuum. The context inwhich an individual is born, grows, lives, and works has a profound impacton their mental and physical well-being. But although the powerful effectsof these social determinants of mental health are not in question, how toaffect them in actionable ways is.Struggle and Solidarityaddresses that gap in a compelling manner. By taking a case study approachto seven key pieces of federal legislationamong them, the AgriculturalAdjustment Act of 1933, the Social Security Act of 1935, the Civil RightsAct of 1964, and the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965itdemonstrates how public policies, even when not explicitly mentalhealthrelated, can shape social determinants and improve mental health inthe United States.For each of the seven laws, the book describes The crisis in society that spurred the law's inception Someof the key individuals and groups who drove its passage How the lawhas evolved over timeincluding its shortcomings How the law cancontinue to influence mental health in the future Forgoing academiclanguage in favor of a more approachable style and including photographs ofsome of the key players involved in each piece of legislation, this volumeis accessible to all audiences while still making vivid and rigorousconnections between national policymaking and the social determinants ofmental health, summarizing the literature linking key social determinantsaffected by each law to mental health outcomes.In sharing realexamples of how individuals and groups have successfully advocated forpolicy changes, the authors of this book illustrate how important advocacywork can be accomplished and inspire readers to get involved in similar workto improve mental health today and in the future. This book presents seven key pieces of federal legislationand demonstrates how public policieseven when not explicitly mentalhealthrelatedcan shape social determinants and improve mental health.
