The Liga za duševné zdravie has had much success in promoting mental health over the past year. Following the General Assembly of the Liga’s member organizations, which last took place in 2013, and following an internal audit of the membership base, the Liga begins to work actively with members, actively identify their needs and represent them to the public administration to influence public policy in their areas. Each member organization works in an environment that needs to be reformed. The reform of the mental health care system, which was postponed for 30 years, was included in the government's program statement, in the partnership agreement and in other documents. The reform is beginning to take place, although its contours are not yet clear. It is therefore very important, instead of drawing attention to the need for reform, to start formulating position papers at the moment, which will contain specific proposals in individual areas. The quality of the outputs and the way in which the member organizations are represented depends on whether the reform will be created behind closed doors or it will be an open process that will ultimately take into account the needs of patients and those organizations struggling for years and resources in the third sector. Every member organization struggles to survive on a daily basis and does not have the capacity to engage in systemic work that is diametrically different in nature from everyday performance. The League has therefore created a digital platform to facilitate communication and individual working groups, and also engages the facilitators of individual groups from its own or external human resources so that the creation process has a result that can be enforced against the state.
