mhGAP

The Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) is an initiative of the WHO aimed at scaling up care for mental, neurological, and substance use disorders. The goal of mhGAP is to address the significant gap that exists globally between the need for mental health services and the availability of those services, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The mhGAP intervention guide provides a framework for the management of priority mental, neurological, and substance use disorders in non-specialized health care settings.
