Abstract

SummaryEuropean Member States of the WHO requested the preparation of a European Mental Health Action Plan, to be implemented by 2020, and complementary to the Global Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan. This Plan covers activities to improve population well-being and reduce the burden of mental disorders; respect the rights of people with mental disorders; and strengthen or establish access to respectful, safe and effective services.

It also proposes actions relevant to the roles and responsibilities of mental health services, psychiatrists and other staff.
