World Mental Health Day raises public awareness about mental health issues. The day promotes open discussion of mental health and investments in prevention, promotion, and treatment services.
This year, the theme is "Investing in Mental Health." Significant behavioral health disparities persist in diverse communities across the globe. To reach these communities, we need to increase investment for mental health and to shift available resources toward more effective forms of services delivered through primary health care and community settings.
Check out these SAMHSA publications that can help you and your community invest in mental health:
Sustaining Grassroots Community-Based Programs: A Toolkit for Community- and Faith-Based Service Providers
Building Bridges: Mental Health Consumers and Primary Health Care Representatives in Dialogue
National Consensus Statement on Mental Health Recovery
Reimbursement of Mental Health Services in Primary Care Settings
Here's a YouTube video to learn more about recovery.
