National Mental Health Strategy 2020-2030
The National Mental Health Strategy and Suicide Prevention Agenda 2020–2030 are based on long-term preparations and broad-based collaboration. The starting point is the comprehensive approach of mental health in society and its different sectors and levels.
Mental health is seen as a resource that can be supported. It is possible to effectively prevent and manage mental disorders and reduce discrimination and stigmatisation associated with mental disorders.
The strategy has five priority areas:
- Mental health as human capital
- Developing positive mental health in the daily lives of children and young people
- Mental health rights
- Broad-based services that meet people’s needs
- Good mental health management
