abstract="Describes the development of a Human Relations Center in a residential community adjacent to a university campus. A combination of factors (a community in flux, expertise in social action offered by the university counseling center, community-oriented county mental health policies, and seeding funds) made possible the implantation of mental health processes and responsibilities within the community. 4 stages of the process are described (outreach, assimilation, synergy, and resulting potency) as they developed over a 5-yr period. The 4 kinds of activities (direct community involvement, direct services, consultation, and education) undertaken in the achievement of goals are identified as a framework for analyzing and evaluating the processes of community mental health.
