PSYCHIATRIC ORGANIZATIONS In the Republic of Armenia, the psychiatric service shall not be concentrated primarily around the provision of outpatient and inpatient medical care and services by psychiatric organizations. Alternative services of community-based mental health care and support shall be accessible, and persons shall not be isolated from the family, relatives, surroundings, and society in order to receive psychiatric care. The creation and development of a care and services system as an alternative to psychiatric medical services should be adopted as a priority of state policy on mental health. State policy in this sector should aim at creating a number of pillars (general hospital care and communitybased care in the form of alternative services) providing mental health care and services, which will be accessible for the whole population. The work of competent bodies in this sector and the cooperation between them should be coordinated in such a manner as to enable the performance of proper oversight and to have the possibility of effectively responding to the challenges in the sector. One of the priorities of state policy on mental health should be to secure the accessibility of mental health service in line with the social situation of the population.
