GOLD STANDARD in understanding and managing Psychological Cases

WHO defines Collaboration when multiple health workers provide comprehensive services by working together synerg istically ( Ness, O., Karlsson, B., Borg, M., Biong, S., Sundet, R., McCormack, B., & Kim, H. S. (2014). Towards a model for collaborative practice in community mental health care . Scandinavian Psychologist, 1, e6. http://dx.doi.org/10.15714/scandpsychol.1.e6)

working together synergistically along with patients, their families, care-givers and communities

working together synergistically to deliver the highest quality of care across settings
