Growing Space have been implementing and delivering an emancipatory and critically informed independent widening participation, community engagement approach within mental health service provision since 1992. In that time we have learned that certain theories such as the capabilities approach, situationist practice and transformational education can combine in order to construct and explain gaps in critical understanding for engaging the ‘mentally ill’. Such understanding offers a powerful understanding of multiple barriers to engagement for ‘service-users’.
