Annotation

The WHO Collaborating Centre for Public Mental Health Research and Service Development, based at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in the Czech Republic, supports the World Health Organization in advancing evidence-based mental health promotion, prevention, and service development across Europe.

The Centre focuses on strengthening mental health literacy, reducing stigma and discrimination, supporting child and adolescent mental health, and building national capacities for mental health systems research, monitoring, and evaluation.

Through research, technical assistance, training, and implementation support, the Centre contributes to WHO initiatives aimed at improving mental health policies, services, and outcomes, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.

Its work emphasizes participation, human rights, evidence-informed decision-making, and the development of effective, person-centred mental health systems.
