Technical Notebooks 16 - Mental Health

Mental Health is the chosen theme for this SCML Technical Notebook, recognizing the importance that this specific area assumes in the definition of public health policies.

In this volume, a part of the knowledge and experience acquired over the last decades of intervention with a heterogeneous audience is shared. From the investment of the Misericórdia de Lisboa, both in the qualification of its professionals and in the provision of specialized services, results part of the heritage of good practices that is gathered here. With this dissemination, it is hoped to make a significant contribution to the fight against prejudice and discrimination that still continue to stigmatize those who confront mental illness.
