Welcome to the WAPR Macedonia Ideas Exchange Media! This is a space where people from the whole world can write about their ideas and experience in the area of Mental Health. Regardless if those ideas are scientific research analysis, personal stories, reports from WAPR country representatives, insights in to the future of Mental Health policy, etc.

  Our main goal is to concentrate the world experience on this topic, present it to the Macedonian stakeholders as well as provide info about the conditions in Macedonia to the world. As a second immediate goal we intend to achieve is to create a hot spot for the most relevant and up to date info about the Mental Health topic and to share it as a resource to anyone who might need it in their line of work.

  To do this we need your support to send us texts and pictures relevant to the proposed categories suggested bellow (just to note that we are flexible about where you prefer the text to be categorised). Share from your experience as a professional, academic, user/consumer, NGO activist or a policymaker.

  Every text will be accepted by simple yes or no answer by our Validation and Relevancy Comission, however we will never censure or by anymeans change the content of your posts.
