Community-based mental health care receives less research attention than other care types and locations. In this study, people who have used community-based mental health care, carers, and providers shared their perspectives on what safety means in that setting. Four themes were uncovered: (1) systemic challenges, such as access to care; (2) managing risks to patients or those around them; (3) how clinicians can cause harm or proactively prevent it; and (4) safe care is a work in progress.
