Resumo(s)
This article is based on empowering settings research and has a two-fold objective: to propose
an adaptation of the empowering community settings framework to community mental health
organizations practice to foster recovery and community integration; and to discuss how the
adapted framework is a relevant tool to challenge community mental health transformation at
multiple levels of analysis. The current study was anchored in a larger qualitative research
project. It used a case study approach, with 8 in-depth interviews with diverse participants from
one community mental health organization. The adapted model proved useful to guide
transformational practice in community mental health programs and for evaluation of
organizational empowerment and multilevel community-oriented interventions. Suggestions and
implications for future research are also presented.
