Therapists Demand Government Monitor Mental Health Services in Pakistan - 29 July 2021 - Ahmed Shameel #Shorts News
Mental health professionals in #Pakistan are demanding that the #government immediately establish a regulatory authority to oversee the qualifications, training and curriculum of mental health services in the country, as no such body exists till now.
The Board of Counselling and Psychotherapy, a community of psychotherapists and mental health counselors in Pakistan, presented their Charter of Demands on Thursday.
“We recognise the damage that can result from unregulated mental health practices,” the Board stated in a press release. “We propose the need to categorize mental health service providers based on qualifications … along with the creation of a regulatory authority for practitioners.”
The Charter of Demands calls for a licensing system that requires therapists to meet a criteria before being eligible to practice in the country. It also insists on setting up a governing body that will hold mental health practitioners to account in case of violations and complaints.
