The National Service Framework for Mental Health (Department of Health, 1999) highlights the need for health and social services to tackle stigma and discrimination and to promote the social inclusion of people with mental health problems, but there are doubts as to how effectively this will be translated into action. This article aims to provide a basis for practical action by starting with the experience of exclusion by people with mental health problems, exploring the meanings of social inclusion and exclusion, identifying some useful contributions to thinking about social inclusion and considering what these might mean in practice. Argues that if social inclusion is to be translated into reality for people with mental health problems then the ambiguities within practice and policy need to be recognised, the reasons for exclusion made explicit, and an acknowledgement that promoting inclusion is necessarily a demanding endeavour.
