Drawing on the ethos, practices and economics of human focused initiatives such as Shared Lives, this book outlines a new model for public services to replace the `invisible asylum' - an approach focused on achieving and maintaining wellbeing, rather than on reacting to crisis or attempting to `fix' people. The book offers steps which we all - citizens, front line services, and government - could take to achieve this vision.
