Poverty, Mental Health, and Social Inclusion offers a comprehensive selection of chapters written by academic researchers as well as direct practitioners and mental health consumer-survivors to examine the intersection of poverty, mental health, and social exclusion. With the aim of addressing complex issues from homelessness and housing to stigma and mental health, the volume presents the perspectives of a wide range of those affected by poverty and social exclusion including Canadian veterans, Indigenous women, homeless youth and families, and mental health consumer-survivors. Divided into four sections, the chapters explore the effects of social exclusion, examine the trajectory of how it occurs, analyze harmful policies in place that exacerbate the correlation between poverty and mental health issues, and introduce potential solutions to expand social inclusion to marginalized groups.
Accessibly written, this text will be a valuable resource for courses on mental health, poverty, and social policy across the disciplines of social work, sociology, and health studies at both the graduate and undergraduate level.
FEATURES:
- Includes research that represents the lived experiences of those living in poverty and homelessness, organized in a narrative framework
- Covers a wide range of issues related to social inclusion, exclusion, and mental health
- Provides a critical overview of current housing, income support, and mental health policies and their effectiveness

From the Back Cover
This comprehensive and timely edited collection deftly examines the complex intersection of poverty, mental health, and social exclusion. With the aim of addressing critical issues from homelessness and housing to stigma and mental health, the volume presents the perspectives of a wide range of those affected by poverty and social exclusion, including mental health consumer-survivors, Canadian veterans, Indigenous women, and homeless youth and families.
Written by academic researchers as well as direct practitioners and mental health consumer-survivors, the chapters use a participatory action research framework that is based on engaging community members and representing those with lived experience. The authors explore the effects of social exclusion, examine the trajectory of how it occurs, analyze harmful policies in place that exacerbate the correlation between poverty and mental health issues, and introduce potential solutions to create social inclusion for marginalized groups.
Accessibly written, Poverty, Mental Health, and Social Inclusion threads together discussions on intersecting identities, research, and practice, making it a valuable resource for both practitioners and students of social work, sociology, and health studies across Canada.
