How far have we come in implementing integrated mental health, skills and work policies?

This chapter presents the key findings on the implementation of the OECD Recommendation on Integrated Mental Health, Skills, and Work Policy five years after its adoption. While countries are increasingly focusing on integrated policies at the strategy level and awareness-raising efforts are continuing, this is often yet to translate into integrated and well-connected practices at the working level. Progress has also been uneven across the thematic areas, with innovative and integrated practices increasingly seen in youth policies, whereas integrated practices remain rare especially in employment services and the welfare system.
