The promotion of community rehabilitation has been included as a key part of this pilot program. The present study took the AD district of Beijing as a case study to examine interorganisational cooperation and its effects on community rehabilitation in a real‐world setting. Interviews were conducted with 14 frontline workers, including 7 mental health workers from community health centres and 3 staff and 4 social workers working in rehabilitation centres. Five officials from relevant health and social welfare departments and a social work organisation were also interviewed. Experiences in Beijing revealed that interorganisational cooperation helped to build a multiagency workforce furnished with basic mental health knowledge at the community level, which rendered it possible for frontline workers to provide fundamental follow‐up services, pilot the case management model of service provision and increase the provision of psychosocial rehabilitation services within the poorly resourced context of Chinese mental healthcare. Moreover, the engagement of social organisations provided bottom‐up pressure to innovate through the active bringing forward of new ideas concerning cooperation and service delivery. However, differences in professional authority and commitment were observed. Health department officials and health professionals seemed to exercise a dominant role as compared to social welfare department officials and social workers. Future policy making should motivate social welfare department officials to improve social care for people with severe mental disorders. Social workers require training to improve their knowledge of mental health matters, and social organisations need greater latitude to strengthen their influence over the development of community rehabilitation services for people with severe mental disorders. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
