Abstract
Training in community psychiatry prepares the psychiatrist to utilize a range of skills essential for creating and managing effective community-based treatment and support programs. However, working in community psychiatry and addressing social determinants of mental health now include attention to climate change, natural disasters, pandemics, and structural racism. Community psychiatrists are now routinely called upon to assist not only with challenges and distress affecting those with diagnosed mental illness, but those being impacted by these issues and experiencing psychological distress as a result. This has created a new perspective for defining community consultation and collaboration that is the focus of this chapter. Building on the central pillars of community psychiatry, epidemiology, public health and prevention, financing, advocacy, and recovery and person-centeredness, this chapter will address how community psychiatrists can incorporate these new consultation and collaboration practices into their work no matter the practice setting.
