A Study on a Policy Collaboration in the Service Delivery System of Mental Health Services in Korea

Abstract

The goal of this study is to scrutinize the service delivery system in mental health services in Korea. Due to many findings from previous researches regarding the delivery of mental health services to people in needs, the failure of collaborations between or among resources in national and local levels has been in the primary matters. Thus this study has focused on the discovery of the reasons in disturbing policy collaborations between health and welfare arenas by analysing relevant legislations and national plans in reference to mental health services in Korea.
