World mental health report: Transforming mental health for all.

Abstract

This World Report on Mental Health advocates for the transformation of mental health and shows that it is possible. The report explores various research and practice findings to deepen the value and commitment we attribute to mental health.

As this Report shows, to achieve the global goals set out in the WHO Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013–2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, we must transform our attitudes, actions and approaches in order to promote and protect mental health , as well as to provide care and attention to those who need it.

The vision showcased in this document  is of a world in which everyone can exercise their human rights and access quality, affordable mental health care and can fully participate in society.
