CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Historically, nonprofit mental health services organisations have faced extremely volatile funding and policy environments, a trend not expected to change in the near future (Butler, 1998, 85). There is also mounting pressure for them to implement empirically-supported treatments and other “best practices” despite scant guidance as to how to install them in their organisations (Burke, 2008, 204). In addition, nonprofit mental health services organisations are subject to the challenges felt across the wider nonprofit sector, such as increasing competition, demands from a diversified set of stakeholders, rapidly changing technologies, and mounting scrutiny from funders and consumers (Burke, 2007, 10).

Problem Statement

The systems that constitute communal capital furthermore assist as conduits for the flow of cooperative data that helps accomplishing our goal. Social capital furthermore functions through psychological and biological methods to advance individual's lives. Social capital management is not just about moderately hot fuzzy tales of civic triumph.



Purpose of the Study

The prime purpose of this particular study is to highlight the importance of social capital management within mental healthcare settings.

Aims

The aims of this particular study will be to:

Describe how employees in mental health organisations perceive social capital management.

Elaborate on the impact of social capital management within British mental health organisation

Rationale of the Study

Social capital in healthcare service sector plays a significant role in British society, helping meet public demand for services as diverse as education, advocacy, medical care and community arts. In 2008 there were almost one million 501(c) 3 public charities registered with the NHS, and the over 350,000 that reported their financial information generated revenues greater than £1.44 trillion (Bryson, 2004, 45), and employed almost 10% of all British workers.

The healthcare service sector plays a significant role in British society, helping meet public demand for services as diverse as education, advocacy, medical care and community arts. In 2008 there were almost one million 501(c) 3 public charities registered with the NHS, and the over 350,000 that reported their financial information generated revenues greater than £1.44 trillion (Bryson, 2004, 45), and employed almost 10% of all British workers. Service orgnisations' role is especially prominent in providing mental health and substance abuse services, services that potentially 30% of British adults (ages 18-54) (Brews, 1999, 88) and 20% of British children (ages 3-17) (Reuning, 1998, 18) could benefit from each year based estimates of symptoms. In 2002, at least 65% of outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment centres were healthcare service, as were 43% of psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals (C. Burke, 2007). Together, these organisations received an estimated £5.5- 16.9 billion in 2004 NHS mental health facility funding, which represents the majority of the sector's total revenues (Boyd, 1991, 35).
