Mental Health Plan of Sant Adrià de Besòs

Provincial Government of Barcelona

Challenge

The Social, Life Cycle and Community Sustainability area of the Diputació de Barcelona requests the elaboration of a strategic mental health plan for the Taula de Salut Mental de Sant Adrià de Besòs.

Solution

The Mental Health Plan has been carried out through a process in which the main agents involved in the City Council, citizens and organisations and facilities of the territory, which also participate in the Mental Health Board of Sant Adrià de Besòs, have participated.

In order to draw up the Plan, the main lines of action and the objectives for each line of action were defined jointly. Participatory planning sessions were then held to draw up the proposals for action to respond to the proposed axes. Finally, for each action, indicators have been drawn up to guide the evaluation of the degree of deployment of the Mental Health Plan. Thus, the Mental Health Plan becomes an organisational structure that enables the planning of actions to improve the well-being and mental health of citizens.
