In our MHPSS service model, the objective of integrating mental health services at the level of the community is to promote accessibility, acceptability, and scalability of mental healthcare, as well as increase the likelihood of positive clinical outcomes including treatment adherence. At this tier, community members will be trained as a Hamdard force to provide basic psychological support; identify people with mental healthcare needs; refer and connect them to MHPSS and other relevant services; and seek help for their own well-being.
