N2  - The purpose of this project is to better understand poverty and social exclusion of psychiatric survivors using a capabilities approach to social justice as part of a larger mixed-methods longitudinal study (N=380) in Ontario, Canada. Using thematic coding, four themes emerged: poverty, 'You just try to survive'; stigma, 'People treat you like trash'; belonging, 'You feel like you don't belong'; and shared concern and advocacy, 'Everyone deserves housing'. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of poverty and other social determinants of experiences of psychiatric survivors, including the synergism of poverty and social exclusion.<p />
