The National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) was introduced in India in 1982 to provide mental healthcare across hospital, rehabilitation, and community settings. It aimed to prevent and treat mental disorders, apply mental health principles to improve overall health, and ensure minimum mental healthcare is available to all. Key factors leading to its development included WHO recommendations and community mental health projects demonstrating the feasibility of integrating services. The District Mental Health Programme (DMHP) was added in 1996 to decentralize services and provide basic mental healthcare in communities to reduce stigma and the burden on hospitals. It has now expanded to over 240 districts across India.

It includes treatment at various levels, rehabilitation, and prevention focused initially on alcohol issues and later on other problems.
Psychiatric social work applies social work methods and practices in psychiatry settings. It is both a science and an art that treats patients through psychological and social means as psychiatric illness can disturb social conditions. Early psychiatric social workers collected case histories and acted as intermediaries between patients and families. Over time, psychiatric social work developed as a distinct profession with roles in hospitals, the military, and creating public awareness of mental health issues. In India, psychiatric social work began in 1937 with child guidance clinics and has since expanded, with specialized training beginning in the 1950s. Social work methods like casework, group work, and community organization are important in psychiatric services to help patients and families adjust.
The document discusses the importance of securing human rights for the mentally ill in the Indian context. It outlines some key challenges like cultural stigma, lethargy from policymakers, and widespread unawareness. Mental health social workers can play important roles as educators to increase awareness, lobbyists to influence policy, and activists to reduce stigma. The media also has a responsibility to educate rather than stigmatize and promote understanding of mental illness. Overall, the document argues for a community-based approach and greater protections under human rights law to help reintegrate the mentally ill into society.

It adopted a two-pronged strategy of establishing psychiatric units in district hospitals while also training health workers in basic mental health skills. The programme underwent changes and expansion over time, including launching the District Mental Health Programme to provide basic mental health services at the community level.
The document defines mental health as a state of balance and harmony between an individual and their environment. It discusses the establishment of mental hospitals in India, with only 15 hospitals and 10,000 beds for 400 million people in 1947. The aims of mental health care are to prevent and treat disorders, improve general health services using mental health principles, and enhance quality of life. Objectives include ensuring minimum care for all, especially vulnerable groups, integrating mental health into general care and development, and promoting community participation in services. Strategies involve integrating mental health into primary care through the National Mental Health Program, providing tertiary institutions, and protecting patient rights through regulatory authorities. Mental health care is provided at different levels from villages up to mental hospitals.

This document discusses the history of deinstitutionalization of mental health services. It describes how large psychiatric hospitals were gradually replaced by community-based services starting in the 1950s due to factors like new medications, poor conditions in hospitals, and civil rights movements. However, deinstitutionalization has faced challenges including shortages of beds and community services in many places. There is no consensus on optimal numbers of psychiatric beds, but most experts estimate around 39 beds per 100,000 people. Outcomes of deinstitutionalization like rates of homelessness, suicide, and crime are complex to assess with no clear relationship to number of beds or other services. The document concludes that an individualized, integrated approach within healthcare is better than traditional facilities

This document discusses various mental health agencies around the world and in India. At the international level, it outlines organizations like the WHO, UNESCO, and WFMH that work to promote mental health and prevent disorders. It then discusses national organizations in the US like the American Psychiatric Association and JED Foundation focused on issues like suicide prevention. In India, it outlines NGOs focused on specific disorders, rehabilitation, community programs, research, and advocacy. The activities of these mental health agencies include treatment, community prevention, research, training, and empowerment.
This document discusses several topics related to measuring and promoting mental health at the population level, including:
1. Administrative records and population surveys can provide data but have limitations for international comparisons due to differences in methods and definitions.
2. Prevention of mental illness can occur at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels through community programs, screening, and treatment.
3. Nepal has developed community mental health programs and rehabilitation services alongside policies to improve access to mental health services.
The National Mental Health Programme was launched in 1982 to provide mental health care services to all Indians, especially vulnerable communities. It aims to prevent and treat mental disorders, apply mental health principles to national development, and ensure minimum mental health care accessibility. The strategies include integrating mental health into primary healthcare and establishing tertiary institutions. However, the programme faces limitations like a lack of professional participation, shortage of trained staff, and insufficient focus on prevention.

Mental Health and Psychosocial Support: 2015 Year in ReviewCORE Group
International Medical Corps provided mental health and psychosocial support to populations affected by conflict and crisis in 24 countries in 2015. Some key highlights included integrating mental health services into primary care in over 15 countries, assisting children impacted by the Syrian civil war, and supporting mental health needs in Nepal following the 2015 earthquake. Mental illness represents a significant global burden, and International Medical Corps works to build local mental health capacities and provide integrated, community-based support programs.
This presentation held in Warszaw at the conference "Mental Health Promotion - from Theory to Practice" 7.11.2019 argues that effective public mental health interventions need to be implemented across Europe, especially among children and adolescents, as a collaboration between policy sectors.
The document reviews the District Mental Health Programme (DMHP) in Uttar Pradesh, India. It provides background on the National Mental Health Programme and discusses how DMHP was launched to overcome NMHP's limitations by making districts the administrative unit. DMHP aims to provide basic mental healthcare through trained staff at primary health centers. It is now implemented across all 75 districts of UP and includes professionals in each district as well as programs in schools, colleges, and workplaces. However, government websites are not always updated and data availability is limited.
The document discusses the National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) and District Mental Health Programme (DMHP) in India. It outlines how NMHP was established in 1982 to decentralize mental healthcare and integrate it with general health services. DMHP was launched in 1996 as a pilot program and expanded to 123 districts by 2009. An evaluation found that 61% of beneficiaries accessed services at district hospitals, showing partial success in decentralizing care. However, only 25% of districts received regular drug supplies due to lack of a dedicated procurement mechanism. The document argues for strengthening community-based mental healthcare in India.

4. OUR IDENTITY
The Society of Social Psychiatry P. Sakellaropoulos is a scientific non-profit
organization which was founded in 1986, by the child and adult psychiatrist and
psychoanalyst, Professor P. Sakellaropoulos.
The SSP P. Sakellaropoulos, has made a significant contribution to Greece's
Psychiatric Reform, through the provision of high quality psychiatric and
psychological support services, promoting the mental health and well-being of the
population.
Particular emphasis is placed on the prevention of psychiatric hospitalization /
institutionalization of people with severe psychosocial problems, the prevention of
mental health problems, the timely intervention and the social and vocational
rehabilitation of service users.
All of our services are offered free of charge and cover a large part of the mental
health services needs of the population in the areas where the SSP P.
Sakellaropoulos operates (Prefectures of Attica, Fthiotida, Fokida in Central
Greece and Evros-Rodopi in Northern Greece).
The clinical and prevention services are based on the principles and values of
Social Psychiatry and are exercised by a psychoanalytic prism, i.e. the belief that
psychological unconscious mechanisms are indeed those that act in all areas of
the manifest symptoms and are those, which if amended by appropriate
psychotherapeutic interventions, will bring about the expected results. The action
research methodology is used, which involves the resolution of problems through
reflection, self-review, team learning processes, empowerment and research
activities.
The operation of the Ogranization is funded by the Ministry of Health, EU projects
and private donations.

The U.N. Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
"We do not change the diagnosis, but rather the fate of people" P. Sakellaropoulos
This last year, following the death of our founder Panayiotis Sakellaropoulos, has
been a challenging one, and has aroused many thoughts, feelings, reflections and
new processes among the staff, the internal and external partners and our
beneficiaries. The realisation and understanding of 'Sakel's work', through analysis,
thinking and feelings, has given us a pride and a moral commitment to renew the
contract with ourselves to continue this work with creativity, solidarity, cooperation,
honesty, courtesy and respect between us, between the users of our services and
the community with which we converse (Fragkoulis A., 2020). The new name of our
organisation "Society of Social Psychiatry P. Sakellaropoulos", reflects this double
commitment to continuing and furthering Sakel's work, while at the same time
standing firm on the foundations of Social Psychiatry and its principles.
These are our commitments for the beginning of this new decade which offers
many challenges, and opportunities for growth, both on a personal level and on an
organisational level.
In 2019, as is reflected in this Report, we continued providing a range of mental
health services, we focused on further therapeutic activities and increased our
responsiveness to the demands of the population, through the new National
Strategic Reference Framework (ΕSPA) 2014-2020 programmes which include:
a. Programme for the provision of community mental health services in the
Prefecture of Fokida. This includes two sub-programmes: Ιntegrated Community
Therapy and Creation of Child Psychiatric Services.
b. Programme for the development of Child Psychiatric Services in the Region of
East Macedonia - Thrace.
Our fixed reference points remain:
Wishing you all the best,

institutionalisation of psychiatric hospitals, to modern, open and humane
therapeutuic units within the community.

their families in order to deal with psychological and psychiatric difficulties, to ensure their social
inclusion, to deal with difficulties within the family environment and to develop awareness-raising

prevention of the hospitalisation of people with serious mental health disorders through the timely
intervention and the continuation of the provision of care.

Providing information regarding the available mental health services and raising
awareness regarding mental health issues, in both National and Local Media, is a key
priority of the Society of Social Psychiatry P. Sakellaropoulos. Our aim is to sensitize
the public and to eliminate the stigma and prejudice associated with mental health
problems. Through the presentation of mental health issues in the Media, we wish to
send the message that we need to speak openly about these issues, as Mental Health
is relevant for everyone.
