"For more than half a century, the public health crisis impacting people with SMI has often been ignored, and until recently, rarely addressed.

We need to raise our analytical and intervention gaze to consider that health behaviors do not happen in a vacuum, they are greatly influenced by the structural forces and social conditions that shape people's live circumstances and choices. The information from the case studies in this text come from different studies over 10 years and are a composite of different people.
