The COVID-19 pandemic has affected to mental health and psychosocial well-being of people due to economic disruptions and social changes. Mental health problems have increased. All mental health providers have focused on community-based services to ensure comprehension and continuity of care. Therefore, APEC economies need to improve community mental health by enhancing APEC communities’ capacity. It is the pleasure of the research team to acknowledge the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Secretariat and the Department of Mental Health, Thailand for their contributions and support of this project. As a result of this project, the recommendations will be offered to leaders of economies within the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) for strengthening the community mental health within the economies. Moreover, by implementing a community mental health work plan, people will be able to adapt and prepare for all crisis situations.
