Description
"The Global Mental Healthcare Crisis: Transitioning from Institutionalization to Community-Based Treatment provides a compelling examination of mental healthcare systems throughout the globe, establishing the necessity for improvement in mental health community-based treatment processes. Analysis of some of the multifactorial structures that contribute to the crisis, such as, transinstitutionalization, shortages of mental health professionals, comorbidity, the COVID-19 pandemic, homelessness, and cost factors enhances insight into specific areas that can be targeted for prevention, stabilization, and improvement in mental health worldwide. The Global Mental Healthcare Crisis offers not only a historical background on mental healthcare to establish understanding of current mental health provisions in countries, but also additional strategies, including the Balanced-Care and Meta-Community models for further development of community-based mental health treatment." Peg Pulver, Former Registered Nurse, Hastings Regional Center, Hastings, NE
