title: [Exploratory analysis of mental health in an unemployment situation : the case of workers in the manufacturing sector of eastern Montréal (Part 1).].
abstract: The objectives of this research are to take the inventory of the psychosocial mechanisms that promote the unemployed individual's equilibrium, and to draw the profile of mental health practices existing in a homogenous group of unemployed persons in the manufacturing sector. In the first part, the authors review the methodology used in the course of their study and present a global analysis of the daily experiences of unemployed individuals, by showing the means they have put into effect to ensure their subsistance and that of their family. The second part seeks to provide an original viewpoint to the issue of mental health. The analysis includes an inventory of mental health practices followed by a brief description of techniques used to establish mutual aid networks.
