The aim of this proposal is to map and analyse the existing autonomy-promoting innovative experiences in Spain, and their role in the production of autonomy in people with mental suffering
Mental health is recognised as a public health priority and a fundamental human right. In recent years and following in the adoption of the 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), there have been demands for a complete transformation in the field of mental-health care, especially in the way mental distress is understood, addressed, and supported both within and outside health care settings.
The growing awareness on the role of social determinants, and the importance of providing care and services centred on the autonomy of the individual and social groups has driven different innovative experiences internationally, that transcend the classical biomedical view to value social sciences approach in this field.
However, these initiatives have yet to be studied, as well as their role in securing rights and producing autonomy among those affected. This knowledge-gap is especially striking when we think in terms of social sciences research.
