Rights-Based Mental Health Framework
• This framework is taken from the WHO quality rights. The five petals refer
to the initiatives that must be undertaken to ensure mental health is
protected.
• Recall that the Philippines is one of the signatories of the Convention on
the Rights of Person with Disabilities (CPRD). The covenant mandates
member countries to ensure the promotion of mental health as a human
right.
