The initiative offers a new approach to mental health care that is 
rights based and recovery oriented. Freedom from coercive 
interventions, respect for the right to legal capacity, and promotion 
of autonomy, choice, community inclusion and recovery are at the core 
of the initiative. The five main objectives of the initiative are to 
increase capacity to understand and promote human rights, recovery, 
and independent living in the community; create community-based and 
recovery-oriented services that respect and promote human rights; 
improve the quality of care and human rights conditions in mental 
health and related services; develop a civil society movement to 
influence policy making and advocate for the integration of a human 
rights approach in mental health; and reform national policies and 
legislations in line with the CRPD and other international human 
rights standards.
