Description

The development of the National Strategy for the Promotion of Mental Health is part of the confirmation, in Tunisia, of the transition from a policy of psychiatry towards a mental health policy, initiated during the preparation of the National Program for Mental Health. Like the WHO Mental Health Action Plan, the national strategy will be based on some basic principles:
- Universal access and equity,
- Human rights,
- Practices based on science,
- Life-long approach,
- Multisectoral approach.

L’élaboration de la Stratégie Nationale de Promotion de la Santé Mentale entre dans le cadre de la confirmation en Tunisie de la transition d’une politique de la psychiatrie vers une politique de santé mentale, amorcée lors de l’élaboration du Programme National de la Santé Mentale. A l’instar du plan d’action mondial sur la santé mental de l’OMS, la stratégie nationale s’appuiera sur certains principes de base:
- Accès universel et équité,
- Droits de l’Homme,
- Pratiques fondées sur la science,
- Approche sur toute la durée de vie,
- Approche plurisectorielle.
