RESEARCH

2012 I am currently conducting a qualitative research study investigating the experience of mental

healthcare workers on eight interdisciplinary mental healthcare teams in two states as they attempt

to facilitate social integration for their clients who are the most severely mentally ill members of

their communities. I am interested in the methods they use, the ways that they have found to engage

their clients, and the barriers they face. As mental healthcare workers on the frontlines, I am

seeking their ideas for novel ways to increase social integration in people with severe mental illness

who live in the community.
