The perspective of community in behavioral health services has changed over the last several decades. It has evolved from isolation to being community-operated services.

Review the articles to create a synopsis on the perspective of community in behavioral health services. In the synopsis, make sure to include the following pointers:

  • Compare and contrast the differences between the isolation principles of institutional care and the present-day community-based services.
  • Analyze whether community-based services provide better care and treatment for those diagnosed with persistent mental illness. Provide a rationale for your response.
  • Analyze whether there is a purpose behind providing institutional care to individuals diagnosed with persistent mental illness. Provide a rationale for your response. Submit your synopsis in a two- to three-page Microsoft Word document.  Cite any sources you use using the APA format on a separate page.
