The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a QualityRights e-training initiative, aiming to improve the quality of care in mental health and related services, as well as promoting the rights of people with psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities. The QualityRights e-training is available in 11 languages and covers a range of different aspects, including:
• Taking care of one’s own mental health
• Supporting friends, family and colleagues with their mental health
• Tackling stigma, discrimination, abuse and coercion in mental health services
• Taking action in support of transformation of mental health services towards a person-centred, rights-based recovery approach.
The training has been developed for a wide variety of groups, including people involved in making decisions about mental health care provision, those who provide mental health care and psychosocial support, and people who have received or are receiving support for their mental health.
