Description

Latvijā garīgās labklājības veicināšana un psihisko traucējumu profilakse joprojām ir izaicinājums – visbiežāk sarežģītā koncepta, daudzo ietekmējošo faktoru un komplicētās cēloņu-seku izpratnes dēļ. Pašnāvību profilaksē savukārt nereti jāsastopas ar uzskatu, ka pašnāvība ir nenovēršama cilvēka izvēle un cilvēka atturēšana no šāda soļa tik pat kā nav iespējama.
Par spīti problēmām, Latvijā ir daudzi cilvēki un organizācijas, kas aktīvi darbojas, meklē, atrod un nodrošina risinājumus, vairāki no kuriem uzskatāmi pat par labas prakses piemēriem.
Novērtējot situāciju psihiskās veselības veicināšanas un psihisko traucējumu, un pašnāvību profilakses jomā Latvijā, kā arī apzinot jomas stiprās un vājās puses, iespējams nospraust tuvākus un tālākus mērķus. Tādēļ Slimību profilakses un kontroles centrs (turpmāk tekstā SPKC) sagatavojis šo tematisko ziņojumu.
