[Correspondence] Therapeutic family foster care: an overlooked model for severe mental disorders

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities1 asserts that people living with severe mental disorders have the fundamental right to adequate housing, freedom of residence, and access to community-based support fostering autonomy and inclusion. Despite advances in community mental health care and hospital-based services, supported housing options for people with severe mental illness remain restricted. Many patients face a lack of suitable options when returning home or to family is not possible or desirable after long-term hospitalisation.
