Summary
Mental health does not exist in a vacuum. The context in which an individual is born, grows, lives, and works has a profound impact on their mental and physical well-being.

Critics Review
Recognizable legislative examples pertaining to relevant social themes are evaluated in a structured format, including historical socio-political background, notable figures who were able to successfully advocate for policy reform, and the iterative development of policies after their enactment. Chapters are divided into logical sections that are easy to reference and are aided by historical pictures and charts to illustrate pertinent trends or downstream impacts of policies. While the authors deliberately chose historical examples, the political landscapes of these examples vastly differ from the present day. Extrapolating optimism from these historical advocacy successes in the context of today’s toxic, hyperpolarized political climate is an arduous task. This is especially pertinent to topics such as food security, social welfare, and civil rights.
