WHO MiNDbank: More Inclusiveness Needed in Disability and Development

A database of resources covering mental health, substance abuse, disability, general health, human rights and development

Mental Health Policies

This section contains ‘stand alone’ mental health policies as well as general health and disability policies, where these have integrated mental health issues in a substantial way.  The absence of ‘stand alone’ mental health policy or the absence of general health or disability policy covering mental health in a substantial way, does not mean that mental health is not at all covered in a country’s general health or disability policies.
