Target model of the MHPSS system

Learn more

The targeted model of the mental health and psychosocial support system was developed under the All-Ukrainian Mental Health program initiated by Olena Zelenska.

The present Model is based on a broad understanding of mental health, in which changes in the state of mental health can be both a consequence and a cause of physical illness, financial difficulties, and social isolation. Therefore, rather than seeing mental health exclusively as a concern of the health sector, the target model proposes a vision for the integration of the mental health issues into decision-making processes in all areas of public policy, including education, employment, social services, etc. 

It defines the key idea: mental health in all sectors and all policies.

These changes should define new roles, mechanisms of interaction and coordination, and the necessary resources for psychosocial support of the population.
