This article looks at new ways to strengthen the mental health workforce and make care more accessible. It highlights how training community health workers to provide basic mental health support, using digital tools like telepsychiatry, and involving people with lived experience can improve care in places with few specialists. It also stresses the importance of teamwork between health and social services. The authors note that while funding, regulations, and cultural barriers remain challenges, coordinated efforts, better training, and investment in digital systems can help build stronger community-based mental health services.
