Mental health policy and service guidance package

The WHO Mental Health Policy and Service guidance package provides practical information to assist countries to improve the mental health of their populations.

The purpose of the guidance package is to assist policy-makers and planners to: develop policies and comprehensive strategies for improving the mental health of populations; use existing resources to achieve the greatest possible benefits; provide effective services to those in need and assist the reintegration of persons with mental disorders into all aspects of community life, thus improving their overall quality of life.
