The WHO European mental health action plan was adopted by all countries in the European region in Izmir in September 2013. Its 6 objectives cover promotion and prevention, human rights, services and partnerships. Since its adoption, the WHO mental health programme is working in some 25 countries, supporting policy development and implementation. Priorities are the introduction of health promotion programmes for vulnerable groups; the competence of primary care to identify, diagnose and treat people with mental disorders; and the implementation of community-based service models sensitive to the culture and resources of countries.
Particularly successful have been countries where a consensus was established between policymakers and professional leaders, and where different levels of government worked together. Obstacles experiences have been funding cuts and lack of incentives. Some examples will be presented.
