The document discusses a research project exploring the psychosocial and health rights of forced migrants in Johannesburg. The project aims to 1) review legislation on migrants' rights, 2) document experiences of migrants accessing their rights, and 3) determine challenges migrants face in accessing rights. Methods include interviews and focus groups. Preliminary findings suggest migrants face challenges in healthcare access due to issues like documentation, language barriers, and daily stressors negatively impacting mental health. A policy brief will be developed to advocate for change.
The assessment and identification of health need is a process that helps:
Inform planning of health care for individuals and their families, communities and the wider population.
It can be a powerful learning tool for local service providers, presenting them with the rationale for re-designing services to better target assessed needs of the local population.

Rights require resources. We cannot effectively speak of the right to health and its progressive realisation when governments do not utilise to the maximum the resources available to them and do not adequately budget for this right.
What does the right to health entail?
When we talk about the right to health we are not just talking about the physical or mental well-being of a person. The right to health involves many other things without which you cannot enjoy good health. The most authoritative interpretation of the right to health is outlined in Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and has been ratified by Namibia and many other countries.

Charlie Brown can't talk to the Little Red Haired Girl so he seeks advice from Lucy. I'm super proud of what we were able to accomplish with this movie. This is one of the first sequences boarded, so I'm just trying to figure out how to draw everybody. I think Lucy's eyebrow raise might be one of the best pieces of storyboard acting I've ever done. As head of story, I was concerned about scenes like this where there was a lot of dialog but not much action. And how it was going to look cutting from one giant round-headed closeup to another. Would they just jump? (Answer: kind of. It was tricky.) We were also exploring a world that was never shot in 3/4. Everything is intentionally very flat.

Individuals With Serious Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System The Case of Richard P. Arthur J. Lurigio Loyola University Chicago, Illinois John Fallon Thresholds This paper presents a case study that illuminates the clinical and practical challenges that accompany the treatment of people with serious mental illness (SMI) and criminal involvement. We discuss the historical conditions that led to the influx of a large number of people with SMI into the criminal justice system. We discuss the case history of Richard P., which illustrates the use of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) to care for criminally involved people with SMI. We focus on the ACT model that was employed by Thresholds to treat Richard P. It was known as the Thresholds Jail Program. We track his progress in the program and explicate the case management considerations that are most salient in treating offenders with SMI. Keywords: criminalization, mental illness, crime, deinstitutionalization, mental health services, probation, ACT 1 Theoretical and Research Basis Fundamental changes in mental health policies and laws have brought criminal justice professionals into contact with the seriously mentally ill at every stage of the justice process: police arrest people with serious mental illness (SMI) because few other options are readily available to handle their disruptive public behaviors; jail and prison administrators strain to attend to the care and safety of the mentally ill; judges grapple with limited sentencing alternatives for individuals with SMI who fall outside of specific forensic categories (e.g., guilty but mentally ill); and probation and parole officers scramble to obtain scarce community services and treatments for people with SMI and attempt to fit them into standard correctional programs or monito.

It is often said that the true test of a decent society is the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens. However, across the world, too often, politicians, policy-makers, professionals and those with the authority and duty to protect and provide for them, fail to do so. In many countries people do not have access to basic mental health care and the treatment they require. In others, the absence of community-based mental health care means the only care available is in psychiatric institutions, which may be associated with grossly impoverished living conditions and even human rights violations, including inhuman and degrading treatment. In addition, in countries recently affected by economic depression, mental health services are under threat from the economic-reductionist debate as the engine of growth has gone into reverse.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
Public Health Issue
Mental and Emotional Well-being
By: Kristi Felch
Public health issue: Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Analysis of the mental and emotional wellbeing
In many nations s the mental health of the citizens of the country is recognised largely as the key element towards the human development regarding his physical health. Furthermore, the mental health is a vital capstone toward the improvement of the socioeconomic status in a nation. Mental disorders especially depressions have contributed largely to the deterioration of the economic level of the relative organisation and the country at large (Grob, 2016).
Economic principles and indicators of mental and emotional wellbeing
The high ascending rate of mental health in the society have to lead to an increase in demand for identification of the evidence that supports the mental health traces in people. More likely, there is a need for investigation of the most effective ways that can be used to cube this factor, which should be very cost effective. Mental health or the physical well-being is a key factor in determining the behaviour of the individual in the employment environment as well as in the marketing environment (Grob, 2016).
Mental health will contribute on the way the resources are distributed among the individual making up a society. Furthermore, economics will be concerned on how the diverse ways of resources allocation have an impact on the society people. However, the resources available to meet all the health needs are very finite (Grob, 2016).
About the mental health and emotional well-being, the decision on the allocation of resources is a very complicated decision as the mental diseases tend to be common, disabling and long-lasting. Mental disorders are associated with welfare cases. When people in a society or a nation have conflicts as a result of mental disorders, they will affect the economic status of the nation. This is evidenced by the destruction of available resources. Despite this, inflation is another key economic indicator associated with mental disorders (Grob, 2016). A nation will secure loans from other nation with the aim of conquering the mental health issue. This will raise the level of inflation in the affected nation as it tries to coup with the payment of the loans.
Economic impact of mental health and wellbeing
1. Unemployment and poverty
Mental disorders are characterized by the fact that the mentally affected people will always tend to be accompanied by job-related issues. For instance, a mentally affected person will have a periodic character of absenteeism in the job. This will mean that the affected worker will not perform his delegated tasks. The employers will not allow such a worker, and he ends up quitting the job (World Health Organization, 2014).
2. Effect on personal income
As the rate of mental health increase, it affects the rate of working of the affected person regard ...

Social work is an integral component of the U.S. health care system. The emergence of professional social work in Indian hospitals is a attributed to Bhore committee who recommended training and placement of hospital social workers. Social work in healthcare is performed in a medical context that is, the medical social worker needs to collaborate with the medical professionals who usually treat patients. Social work in healthcare is also regulated by healthcare legislation and not solely by social laws. Social work in healthcare in India accomplished by medical social workers trained in crisis treatment, psychosocial treatment, counselling, law, how to handle traumas and how to provide social assistance, emotional support, and instrumental support.

Migration, health and development: leaving no-one behind?Jo Vearey
Contribution to workshop on 'Disrupting Global Health Narratives: Alternative Perspectives on the World Bank's Influence on Global Health' where I suggest that we need to include engagement with migration & migrant health & the World Bank's interests in migration for development. What does this mean for Universal Healthcare Coverage and the right to good health, v's seeing the migrant body as a commodity?
Moving forward: (re)engaging with migration, mobility and HIV in southern AfricaJo Vearey
In this talk, I suggest that an inadequate consideration of population moblity/migration has contributed to the challenges faced in addressing HIV within the southern African region.
South Africa has a progressive asylum policy whereby refugees and asylum seekers are encouraged to self-settle and integrate, rather than be confined to camps. A range of protective rights are afforded to international migrants – including refugees and asylum seekers – that include the right to health, and to antiretroviral therapy. However, many challenges are experienced by international migrants as protective policy is not transformed into protective practice. Key here, are the challenges with the backlog at home affairs that presents challenges in accessing documentation and the lack of awareness of the rights of international migrants amongst service providers.
A tentative schematic representation of psychosocial pathways
A range of rights, including access to basic healthcare, are provided to non-nationals through the Refugee Act (1998) and the South African Constitution. The current HIV/AIDS and STI National Strategic Plan for South Africa (NSP) specifically includes non-nationals – international migrants, refugees and asylum seekers – and outlines their right to HIV prevention, treatment and support. In September 2007, the National Department of Health (NDOH) released a Revenue Directive [i] clarifying that refugees and asylum seekers – with or without a permit – shall be exempt from paying for antiretroviral treatment (ART) in the public sector. A key guiding principle to the successful implementation of the NSP is towards “ensuring equality and non-discrimination against marginalised groups”; refugees, asylum seekers and foreign migrants are specifically mentioned as having “a right to equal access to interventions for HIV prevention, treatment and support” [ii] . [i] Ref: BI 4/29 REFUG/ASYL 8 2007 [ii] Department of Health (2007) HIV & AIDS and STI Strategic Plan for South Africa, 2007 – 2011. April 2007: Pretoria: Department of Health, p56
In September last year, the NDOH released a revenue directive clarifying that refugees and asylum seekers – with or without a permit – have to rhight to access basic health services and ART. They must be assessed according to the current means test, as applied to South African citizens, and must not be charged foreign category fees.
The 2006 NDOH memo c larifies that possession of a South African identity booklet is NOT a prerequisite for eligibility for ART. This is important for South African citizens as well as non-citizens.
In addition, Dr. Patrick Maduna of Gauteng Health released a memo in early April providing additional clarification that South African identity booklets are NOT a requirement of healthcare, including ART.
