Investigates the main barriers to social inclusion faced by mentally ill people. Among these barriers are factors such as society's attitudes towards mental health, employment discrimination and debt. This article also holds mental health professionals accountable for social exclusion; arguing that they provide a lack of financial advise and fail to recognise their clients lives outside of their condition. In conclusion, it is asserted that change towards social inclusion will be realised if mental health services work together with mainstream agencies and organisations to combat discrimination, and for mental health professionals to have higher expections as to what people with mental health problems can acheive.

Describes the Revolving Doors project which aims to pick up at point of arrest and provide a support service to people on the margins of the mental health and criminal justice systems. The link workers provide a link between the local police station and health, social services, housing and other welfare agencies. They take referrals directly from the police station for anyone arrested whom the police believe to have some kind of mental health problem.
