| | Mental Health Facilitator (MHF) Definition and Mission Statement | | | The MHF expert panel adopted a formal definition for mental health facilitation and a mission statement for the MHF program at the Mexico City meeting in 2006.
| | | Definition | | | | | Mental health facilitation: A transdisciplinary process that cares for individuals with emotional needs and assists them and their communities in achieving self-determined goals. The MHF process is based on developing relationships that promote a state of well-being enabling individuals to realize their abilities, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and make a contribution to their communities. This process results in an overall improvement in their quality of life. |
| | | Mission Statement | | | | | To provide equitable access to quality first contact holistic mental health interventions (including mental health promotion/prevention; advocacy; monitoring; referral and treatment), which respect the dignity and human rights of all, meet population needs, and are based on the best available evidence contextualized by current global, regional, or local socio-cultural, economic, and geographic realities. |
