During 2003 and 2004 Joanne Straceski and Frederick Erickson conducted an ethnographic study of mental health service delivery at THE VILLAGE, INTEGRATED SERVICE AGENCY in Long Beach, California, an agency sponsored by the National Mental Health Association of Greater Los Angeles. THE VILLAGE serves people who have serious mental illnesses, and who are called "members." The agency keeps careful track of outcome data and demonstrates consistent success in helping its members live their daily lives in the local community. Eli Lilly, Inc. supported this research, which documents in detail the special ways in which THE VILLAGE organizes itself and works with members in ways that affirm their capacity to make positive choices in their lives. The final report of 154 pages, completed in May 2004 and titled "A quality of heart: Continuity, change, and distinctiveness in service delivery at The Village, ISA" is available as a PDF file at this website.
