Welcome
WHO MiNDbank is an online platform providing quick and easy access to international resources and national/regional level policies, strategies, laws and service standards for mental health, substance abuse, disability, general health, NCDs, human rights, development, children and youth, and older persons. Since its creation in 2014, MindBank has become an essential tool for supporting the work of policymakers, advocacy groups, academics and researchers. As a tool for advocacy, it allows people to identify the current situation, potential gaps in laws and policies as well as example of innovative policies and strategies, to develop effective actions and messages at the national and international level. MiNDbank, which currently includes around 7500 resources, has been made possible thanks to the collective efforts of WHO Member States in sharing their national resources, with a view to achieving better health and human rights outcomes for all.
