Appendix 1: Full version of Vision and Mission
VISION
- Mental health and physical health
are recognized worldwide as being integral and inseparable
components of health. (‘There is no health without mental
health.’)
- All global, national and local public
health activities direct attention and resources to mental
health that realistically reflect the burden of disability
caused by mental, neurological and behavioral disorders.
- Promotion and prevention in mental health
are recognized as an integral and inseparable part of health
promotion policies and programs at global, national and local
levels
- The mental health action agenda will
include promotion of mental health and prevention of mental and
behavioral disorders side-by side-with treatment,
rehabilitation, and recovery.
- Major steps ahead in promotion and
prevention are made by making more effective use of resources
and expertise (‘strengths’) across international and national
organizations through improving collaboration and synergy.
- Across low, middle and high income
countries conditions are met and resources are generated needed
to make effective promotion of mental health and prevention of
mental and behavioral problems possible.
MISSION
- To increase understanding of the multiple
conditions and successive steps necessary to develop and
implement effective programs and policies in prevention and
promotion worldwide
- To involve all relevant parties needed to
implement these conditions and steps, including researchers,
policy makers, politicians, advocates, practitioners and
consumers across sectors such as health, social welfare,
education and labor
- To inform all relevant parties about each
other’s policies, activities, plans and strengths, and identify
options for more effective shared actions or the linking of
complementary activities
- To build consensus across international
and national organizations, to improve collaboration and
synergy, and to stimulate common actions in implementing these
conditions and steps to achieve the Consortium’s goals
The Consortium’s secretariat is
currently maintained by the World Federation for Mental Health, 2001
