The results of this study are; 1) the good commitment revealed by the head of the District Health Office by implementing some good policies in order to improve community mental health, but unfortunately they are still at limited common policies. 2) Minimum mental health service standards have not yet been carried out, 3) The implementation of health promotion involved families and the community.
