这个新专栏概述了拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的精神卫生改革。在那些在强有力的政治支持下实施政策的国家（巴西、智利和伯利兹等），进展尤为明显。然而，可以从一个改革面临多重障碍的区域的集体经历中汲取经验教训。现有资源仍然不足，分配不公平，大多数国家的改革执行工作尚未完成，存在大量未满足的需求。各国面临着影响儿童和青少年的心理社会问题日益严重以及暴力行为日益增多的新挑战，这需要心理健康服务部门采取新的对策。
This new column provides an overview of mental health reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean. Progress has been particularly visible in countries that have implemented policies with strong political support (Brazil, Chile, and Belize, among others). However, lessons may be learned from the collective experience of a region that has faced multiple obstacles to reform. Available resources are still insufficient and inequitably distributed, reform implementation is not complete in most countries, and high levels of unmet need exist. Countries face new challenges related to growing psychosocial problems affecting children and adolescents and increasing violence, which require new responses from mental health services.
