Psychosocial approaches and rights-based mental health care

Given our expertise in the social and economic drivers of poor mental health, we recognise the importance of psychosocial responses which incorporate rights-based approaches to supporting people with their mental health.

At the University of Essex we have experts in human rights, psychological therapies and psychosocial interventions including family and systems level approaches. Our research includes developing theories and evaluating treatments across a wide range of clinical populations in both UK and international contexts.
