We should not isolate mental illness from physical health conditions, such as diabetes, blood pressure, or cancer. Mental health awareness training will improve our understanding of and how we interact and care for people with mental health problems, including:
- Equal access to the most effective and safest care and treatment,
- Equal efforts to improve the quality of care,
- Allocation of time, effort and resources on a basis comparable with need,
