Description

This regional strategy for mental health has been prepared to support governments in their efforts to improve mental health and integrate services for people with mental disorder. It was endorsed by WHO Member States during the fifty-second session of the Regional Committee for the Western Pacific held in Brunei Darussalam in September 2001 and is designed to be adapted in order to address national mental health needs. The strategy provides general principles and guidance for countries and areas to use in responding to the challenges posed by mental health problems and in formulating corresponding policies and programmes.
