1. What are the key policy aspects or goals of the new mental health agenda. Briefly describe each aspect and provide at least three examples of interventions that are driven by these policies (from Table 1.1). Which of these interventions would you consider to be the most effective or important. Please explain why?

2. Define "recovery" from mental illness and explain why is it a contested concept? What is it about for professionals versus people with mental illness? How do these two groups view recovery and why?

3. Based on the arguments made in the film, please explain why should persons with severe mental illness be allowed to live in the community (as part of their recovery)? What does it mean that they should also be "allowed to fail?" What are the key challenges and risks of providing care for people with severe mental illness in the community? How did Nestor Bunch's story inform your understanding of these challenges and risks? What kinds of supports do individuals like Nestor need to live safely in the community? Should we, as a society, provide them with such supports? Why or why not?
