WHO Launches New Guide to Scale Psychological Self-Help Interventions Globally

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a new guide to help countries and organizations expand access to evidence-based mental health care by scaling up psychological self-help interventions. The guide, titled 'Psychological self-help interventions: delivering self-help for individuals,' provides practical advice on planning, adapting, and delivering self-help, with or without support from trained non-specialists. This initiative aims to address the significant gap in mental health care access, with over one billion people worldwide living with a mental health condition. [cite: 16 in previous search]
