It envisages a review of the “National Mental Health Action Plan” and the “National Mental Health Policy (2011)”.

The aim here is to learn and reflect on the Italian best practices to be adopted the Jordanian context. • Capacity development programmes for health and social workers on right-based approach skills, behavioural change and use of informed consent, as well as for Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) on peer-to-peer support and inclusive services within the local community. • Rehabilitation of three mental health care clinics at the Princess Basma hospital of Irbid. • Training of health and social personnel selected by the MoH and HCD and already trained on mhGAP (Mental Health Gap Action Programme). • Development of an informed consent form for patients and families, development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and training of health and social workers from the 3 selected clinics on the use of the form and the SOPs. • Organization of workshops by local associations, aimed at people with psychosocial disabilities, and disabilities in general, to strengthen their social inclusion at community level. read more close
