Este trabajo analiza la importancia de las redes sociales de apoyo en la integración del enfermo mental en la comunidad. Se analizan las características de las redes sociales de las personas con desórdenes psiquiátricos. Se discute la importancia que tiene una red social de apoyo adecuada como un componente fundamental para la permanencia del enfermo mental en la comunidad y se subraya la relevancia de intervenciones dirigidas al fortalecimiento y reconstrucción de la red de apoyo social de las personas que padecen o han padecido enfermedades mentales. Finalmente se examina la contribución de estrategias de intervencion dirigidas tanto a los pacientes como a sus familiares como los grupos de autoayuda y los programas comunitarios de apoyo en el ámbito de la salud mental.
