Abstract

This In Brief informs readers about the status of mental health services and telephone counselling services in the Pacific region and offers suggestions for further research on this topic. The paper identifies a problem — a deficit in mental health service capacity in the Pacific — and a particular modality — telephone counselling — that might address some of the challenges across the region.
