WHO Launches Guide to Expand Access to Psychological Self-Help
The World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced a new guide aimed at expanding access to psychological self-help interventions globally. This guide provides practical advice for governments, health services, and community groups to implement and scale mental health self-help programs. The initiative addresses the growing mental health challenges affecting over a billion people worldwide, exacerbated by events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The guide promotes structured self-help interventions that can be delivered with minimal resources, making them accessible to a broader population.
