In late 2022, the Mental Health Reform initiative by the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a significant overhaul of mental health services. The recommendation is to shift towards community-based mental health care, expanding beyond the confines of the health sector. You have the opportunity to be an active participant in this transformation by joining our community-based Neuro Health Project. You can apply to become a Neuro Health Practitioner and take on a leadership role as a HUB Leader. Join us in shaping the future of mental health care.
