The world faces grave consequences from the lack of available mental health services and treatment. Mental illness impacts every country, culture and community, with the World Health Organization (WHO) stating that 10% of the global burden of disease is related to mental, neurological and substance ...use disorders. In low-and middle-income countries, more than 75% of people with mental disorders receive no treatment at all for their disorder. During 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, 93% of countries reported their mental health services were either halted or interrupted (WHO, 2020e). WHO reported a 25% increase in depression and anxiety alone during the pandemic. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates depression and anxiety cost the global economy US $1 trillion dollars a year. All nurses have a health care role in mental health and substance use. ICN strongly advocates for the investment of further education and professional development in this area in order to support individuals and communities achieve the highest attainable standard of health which includes
physical, mental and social wellbeing.

                                                                Selon les estimations du recensement général de la population et de l’Habitat (RGPH, 2006), le nombre de personnes en situation de handicap au Burkina Faso en 2012 est estimé à environ 168 000, soit 1,2% de la population totale. La Fédération burkinabè des associations pour la promotion des... personnes handicapées (FEBAH) évalue à 66% le nombre de personnes en situation de handicap n’ayant aucun niveau d’instruction et seulement 16,5% ayant atteint le niveau primaire. Ces estimations contrastent avec celles de l’OMS et de la Banque mondiale (15% de la population mondiale sont en situation de handicap). Le champ de l’éducation inclusive se caractérisant au Burkina Faso par une absence de données quantitatives systématisées, de telles contradictions peuvent avoir des effets négatifs sur la planification éducative et les efforts déployés par les différents partenaires pour atteindre l’EPT.

The manual is designed for all workers in a health care system—frontline staff, clinicians, and administrative, operational, and outreach workers.
