Abstract

An effective example of community Public Mental Health collaboration to address the limitations of Public Mental Health institutions in reaching and serving underserved populations is The Network of Organizations Dedicated to the Prevention and Care of Mental, Neurological and Substance Abuse Disorders (La Red de Organizaciones Dedicadas a la Prevención y Atención de Trastornos Mentales, Neurológicos y por Abuso de Sustancias) ROTMENAS by its acronym in Spanish. It is coordinated by the Mexico - United States Border Health Commission, outreach office in Chihuahua, thanks to the funds received by the Paso del Norte Health Foundation of El Paso, Texas, for its Think Change Initiative. The ROTMENAS model focuses on improving mental health care and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
