The NMHP document is an important first reference guide for arrangements to be undertaken by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey for its implementation, as well as forthe formulation of future strategies, plans and programs to address population needs.
The NMHP of Turkey includes a section on child and adolescent mental health policy; this can be found as part 7 of the document.
