Answer 1

The article is A stepping stone to moving on': home supports women with severe mental health issues published in The Guardian on 16 March 2018.

This article is about how the home support for mental patient behaves with the people living them. It gave an example of Michelle Stevens who was in home support and how staff behaved badly with her during her stay like shouting,Certain mental care house like Certitude have good facilities for the inmates. In mental care house inmates are socializing with fellow person, they are taking gardening task also. A therapeutic approach has adopted which involves a focus on fitness – reflecting growing awareness of the link between physical and mental health – and enabling women to connect with the community. All these shows that how badly we need more community based mental health support.The Care Quality Commission recently said that a lack of mental health services means more patients are having to be sectioned to get help.

I also strongly support that mental health patient need utmost acre with mush sensitiveness. They also need to have socialization so that their mental balance can be maintained and they will live a happy live in the future. They need participation in various activities so that their mind will be occupied. These can be dobe by the community based mental support where there is sympathy towards the inmates and polite behavior of the staff.
