Dutch Mental Health Reform

The Dutch Mental Health Reform aims to improve mental health care by shifting from a centralized, inpatient system to community-based services. This approach emphasizes personalized, accessible support that integrates mental health treatment into everyday life, prioritizing prevention and early intervention. It also encourages collaboration among healthcare providers, social services, and patients to create more tailored and inclusive care. The reform seeks to reduce stigma, ensure better resource allocation, and empower individuals to recover and participate fully in society, fostering a more humane and effective mental health system overall.
