Press Conference in Yerevan, Armenia Together with the representatives of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Affairs and with the president of the Armenian Psychiatric Association today we held a press conference introducing the new Mental Health Strategy of Armenia that has been amended by the government in April 2014. I was talking about the importance of this achievement and about the basic principles of community-based services that hopefully will characterize the future of Armenias mental health system. I have been working in Armenia together with my great local colleagues over the last three years for this moment. An even more important phase will be started now, the phase of implementation. Very promising is that during the press conference for the first time I heard the representatives of the ministries publicly announcing that they will close down the large psychiatric institutions in line with the new strategy, reallocating the resources from institutions to community care. youtube/watch?v=i0pexyprgHI&feature=share&t=25m46s
