About Including US

Vision of Including Us

• We believe that inclusion is fundamental to a person’s mental well being
• There is a strong link between exclusion and mental ill health

Aims of Including Us

• To promote positive steps for all to mental well being (at and individual, community and structural level).
• To challenge discrimination and exclusion and its effect on mental health (eg on the grounds of racism, sexism, stigma).

Editorial Policy for Including Us

• Articles should be written in everyday language and it helps to avoid jargon.
• The editors will always try and include articles, however this is not always possible as space is limited. If you would like to submit articles for inclusion it would be helpful if they:
  • fit in with the aims of Including Us
  • are brief (200-300 words is ideal)
  • are timely and in date

The editors will try and keep articles in their original format as much as possible. However, small changes will be made, and jargon will be explained. If the article has significant changes the author
will be consulted before going to print. Note articles published will also be posted on the Including Us website.

The opinions expressed are those of individual contributors. If you have any comments please contact us; we’d welcome your feedback.
