| Abstract: |
This entry examines a Foucauldian conceptualization of power and resistance within the context of digital mental health innovation. From a Foucauldian perspective, innovation is necessarily intertwined with power insofar as it necessitates both management and employees negotiating the meaning of change. The innovation discussed here involved the creation of a new digital mental health management tool. This innovation emerged out of grassroots-level interactions within a social enterprise that employs individuals with mental health conditions (MHCs). In Foucauldian terms, this means that individuals with MHCs are empowered to create their own training, rather than managers or health professionals imposing this upon them, which in turn, expresses resistance against longstanding mental health stigmatization. |
