Restraining/chaining persons with mental illness (Pasung) has long been a problematic issue because it is considered as an act of human rights violation. This issue concerned Indonesia as pasung can be found in almost every province in Indonesia as an alternative to treat persons with mental disorder. Indonesian government has strictly forbid the act of pasung since 1977 with the enactment of Surat Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor PEM.29/6/15. But the strategic effort to abolish pasung in Indonesia started in 2010 with Indonesia Bebas Pasung (Free-Pasung Indonesia) program.
Free-Pasung Program has been implemented in Indonesia since 2010. Since then, by the end of 2014 and 2015, 5.846 and 7.806 pasung victims had been freed, respectively. Those numbers are relatively high compared to 8.543 pasung cases found in 2015. However, pasung has not completely obliterated from Indonesia. Community-based rehabilitation facilities using pasung as a method to cure mentally ill persons can still be found. Difficulty to take care of family member with mental disorder and limited access to adequate mental health care facilities are two of many reasons the family of persons with mental illness to perform pasung.

This International Workshop is held to review the development of the Indonesia Bebas Pasung program, to map the conditions and obstacles encountered in the field, and to explore alternative solutions to overcome the obstacles in order to achieve Free-Pasung Indonesia in 2019. The involvement of various elements in this workshop is expected to provide more systematic and operational solutions for the program implementation in Indonesia and to provide insight for international participants in developing mental health system in their country.

Mental health disorders have become a world-wide problem as a result of its contribution to the current and predicted global burden in the future. However, huge treatment gap in most countries, especially lower-middle-income countries, is still evident, reflecting the poor concern of the government in regards to the issue. Many countries world-wide take mental health issues as a non-priority, which leaves advocacy in mental health system development to walk a long journey ahead.
International Short Course on Advocacy Skills in Mental Health System Development: from Research to Policy is a 2 weeks course designed to answer the need for advocacy skill training in developing mental health system.
This course is intended for students (undergraduate, post-graduate, doctoral), researchers, mental health professionals (psychiatrist, psychologist, mental health nurse, GP, and other clinicians) as well as policy makers from any countries world-wide who have concern in the development of mental health system.
