A socially inclusive society is based on the fundamental values of equity, equality, human rights, justice and freedoms (UNESCO, 2018). It is estimated that costs related to social exclusion in Australia exceed $45 billion (AHRC, 2019). It is important that registered nurses are aware of mental health promotion approaches to promote social inclusion and reduce or prevent mental health complications that can arise due to social exclusion. Focusing on people who are homeless, this assessment will enable you to demonstrate knowledge of social exclusion, its impact on mental health and one mental health program to promote social inclusion among homeless populations.
