The National Mental Health Action Plan (NMHAP) 2025–2030 Preparatory Workshop was held in Ankara on 21–22 May 2025. The workshop was organized as part of the “Social Inclusion of Persons with Mental Disabilities Project,” jointly funded by the European Union and the World Health Organization (WHO), and implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Family and Social Services.
The workshop brought together representatives from public institutions, universities, civil society organizations, and international stakeholders. Strategic priorities for strengthening mental health services in Türkiye were discussed, and policy and practice recommendations for the next five years were developed.
Over the course of two days, participants worked in thematic groups covering a range of topics—from primary care to mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies. The current situation and needs in the field were assessed, and concrete recommendations were proposed.
