Mental Health Project

My initial reaction to the word would be one of worry and apprehension. I know that mentally gouty people may be violent in some ways and that they may wander around the community and with my young claw at home, the negative scenarios would be endless. On the other hand I know that mentally ill people can also be cured and they should be given the chance to have their lives brook as fully functioning members of society.With a halfway support as a neighbor, I would judge that it would credibly pose a threat to our way of life and the safety of my child. Its because the proximity of the center to us would disrupt our way of life for example I would not have peace of mind know that mentally-ill people are beside us, thus it would possibly lead to over protectiveness. I would also be also concerned of who my child interacts with especially if the mentally-ill residents are allowed to roam the premises. I would also probably think that the neck of the woods is not a safe and heal thy community to raise my child. The stigma and the negative attitudes of people to the half-way house is also not far from reality and maybe as neighbors people would think of us otherwise also.Having a half-way house for mentally-ill people as a neighbor brings mixed emotions, fear, anxiety, pity and generally I would be overthrow. I would fear that the residents in the facility would harm us and especially harm my child. I would be anxious of the stress of having mentally-ill neighbors, that I might always be thinking of how they would affect our day by day lives. I would also feel pity for those mentally-ill people because they do deserve a place to roost where they can get better before being institutionalized. And in all honesty, I would be upset by the factthat as a health care provider, I should not be feeling and thinking this because I know that they can do get better and I should not be too narrow minded about it.Based on my feelings and thoughts about the halfway ho use, I would probably wait and see whether what the conditions are in the facility is and how it impacts the community before I decide to top the community. Since I dont want to be consumed by my irrational thoughts about the matter and I also dont want to risk the safety of my child, then I would try my outperform to be objective in the decisions that I would make.BibliographyAtkinson, R. et.al (1998).
