Abstract
Humans are social beings whom by nature have a fundamental desire to establish meaningful connections with others and belong somewhere. People living with severe mental illness often struggle to maintain these interactions and may benefit from social support interventions in the primary healthcare setting, writes Leana Meiring.-
