About this survey

 

In 2020, the World Psychiatric Association issued a Position Statement and Call to Action on Implementing Alternatives to Coercion in Mental Health Care. This survey seeks information and advice from your country/region to determine how the WPA can best support this Call to Action across the globe.

 

The survey is designed to spark conversations within WPA Member Societies and Associations. It will be open for several months to allow the questions asked here to be discussed with as broad a range of your membership base as possible.

 

Member Societies and Associations are encouraged to form an Alternatives to Coercion leadership group to expedite discussion and action. Such a group could lead reflection and response to this survey, as well as establish a point of contact between the WPA Working Group and people in your country/region who are working for change.
