Abstract
Individuals with mental health needs experience stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and social isolation. Photovoice, an advocacy and participatory action research method based on the principles of community-based participatory research, offers a creative approach to genuinely engage the voices and expertise of people intimately involved in the mental health system. This article offers strategic planning steps and detailed curriculum stages to develop and facilitate photovoice groups within mental health settings.
