Objectives: The purpose of this manuscript was to come up with ideas about supportive policies and multi-sectoral collaboration for Mental health Promotion. Methods: The authors reviewed about 40 various international & internal scientific articles including WHO's publications related with mental health programmes and mental health promotion. Besides, we reviewed inter-sectoral and multi-sectoral collaborations of mental health works for policy recommendations. Results: There are many problems in present mental health services; lack of budgets, existence of many vulnerable people, lack of mental health indexes, low accessibilities to mental health services, lack of supportive policies, and no existence of comprehensive control tower. Conclusions: It is important to strengthen public mental health services focused on health promotion. In addition, reinforcement of the infra-structures and establishment of a comprehensive control tower for mental health promotion should be done immediately. The control tower will have specific roles in structures of different government sectors and infrastructures for inter-sectoral collaboration.

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to describe the role for public education in mental health promotion, prevention of mental illness and treatment of mental disorders in Canada. Results: A brief history of the changing nature of the way we treat mental disorders in Canada argues for an increasingly critical role for public education. Furthermore, the new understanding of the role of social determinants in prevention of mental illness again necessitates a vital role for public education as the shift in focus moves from exclusively individual-focused health care treatments to creating supportive environments. The roles for mental health public education then become: advocacy for the social determinants of health approach, better understanding of the nature of mental health problems, useful information for self-management, and more knowledge about appropriate treatments. A brief discussion of the structure of the response in Canada provides an overview of national and provincial responsibilities in mental health care with a case study highlighting one community's response to addressing mental disorders. Conclusion : Finally, challenges regarding the most effective educators and the issue of professional expertise embedded in the status quo are discussed.

본 연구는 정신보건법의 전면 개정 법률인 정신건강복지지원법(정신건강증진 및 정신질환자 복지서비스 지원에 관한 법률)의 주요 쟁점을 분석하고, 그 함의가 무엇인지 규명하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 첫째, 정신보건법 개정과 관련한 주요 담론인 인권담론, 사회복지담론, 예방담론의 구체적 내용을 비판적으로 검토하고, 둘째, 정신건강복지지원법의 주요 쟁점을 분석하고 함의를 논의하였다. 정신건강복지지원법 주요 쟁점 분석결과 이 법률은 정신질환자 개념이 축소되어 장애인복지법의 정신장애인 개념에 근접하는 것으로 나타났고, 입원규정은 비자발적 입원요건을 강화했으나 정신질환자의 주체성을 강화하지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 사회복지서비스는 도입하였으나 장애인복지서비스의 핵심 가치인 장애인의 당사자주의와 같은 핵심적 가치는 부정하고 있었다. 정신건강증진은 예방, 치료, 재활, 복지를 포괄하는 개념으로 정의되어 정부 정신건강정책을 포장하는 상징적 성격이 강하고, 예방에 관한 초점을 약화시킬 우려가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정신보건법과 정신장애인복지지원법의 기계적 결합으로 내적 가치, 원리, 개념의 불일치라는 한계가 있었다.
