Abstract
War, geopolitical instability, and natural disasters have contributed to enormous unmet mental health needs in the Middle East and North Africa. Jordan is a middle-income country that needs internal and international stakeholder engagement and support to effectively provide mental health services to its citizens and to the millions of immigrants and refugees who reside there. This column presents a snapshot of the state of mental health care in Jordan and outlines areas for future investment. Potentially high-yield areas for development include digital health technology, integrated care, and youth-focused interventions.
期刊介绍：
Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
