ABSTRACT
The primary objective of the National Mental Health Program (NPOZP) is to provide people with mental disorders, including addicts and those experiencing a mental crisis, with comprehensive and comprehensive care and support appropriate to their needs. The implementation of this objective in the area of psychiatric care for adults is to be achieved, among others, by popularizing an integrated and comprehensive model of mental health care based on the model of community care. A key element of the future mental health care system should be a network of community mental health centers. The presented document contains recommendations regarding statutory changes related to the community reform of the mental health care system in Poland. It is presented in the form of a checklist facilitating the assessment of progress or lack of progress in the scope of the proposed changes. The following are presented in turn: general issues, organization of mental health centers, principles of assessing the quality of care, provincial plans for the areas of operation of mental health centers, the method of concluding agreements and principles of financing mental health centers in the form of a lump sum per population. The presented recommendations express the position of pro-reform social movements gathered around the Mental Health Congress and the Agreement for the NPOZP.
