In January 2024, we launched the three-year project “Rights, Services, and Participation: Fostering a Comprehensive Mental Health Framework in Armenia”. Today we are pleased to present the Project to all Armenia-based international, state and non-governmental organizations, and mass media interested in the mental health sphere, as well as the public.
