WHO MIND - Mental Health in Development
Mental health improvements are central to nations' development
Positive mental health is linked to a range of development outcomes and is fundamental to coping with adversity. On the other hand, poor mental health impedes an individual’s capacity to realize their potential, work productively, and make a contribution to their community. In order to improve population mental health, WHO MIND supports countries to implement programmes to ensure that effective treatment, prevention, and promotion programs are made available to all people who need them.
The 4 core thematic areas of WHO MIND
At the intersection of all of these areas is The QualityRights Project
