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 Strategies and Plans

This section contains ‘stand alone’ mental health strategies and plans, as well as general health and disability strategies and plans, where these have integrated mental health issues in a substantial way.  The absence of ‘stand alone’ mental health strategies/plans, or the absence of general health or disability strategies/plans 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 strategies/plans.
