Community mental health services are reserved for the people who are suffering from mental illnesses. Health care facilities such as specialized hospitals for people with mental disorders initially provided the services. The coming of reforms in this sector has led to the closure of many mental hospitals because of violation of patients’ rights. Most mentally ill persons were neglected in mental hospitals (Atkinson, 2006). It is perceived that the ignorance in mental hospitals was caused by the sudden increase of patients. Besides that, Richards and Campania (2010) explain that the mental hospitals were not serving their intended purpose of meeting the needs of the mentally ill, but one expected that for every mental hospital that is closed a community-based center replaces it. This would bring the services closer to the people who need them the most. The establishment of mental hospitals may have been a noble idea, but there are many people who continue to suffer in silence because they cannot afford the required money to send their loved ones to such institutions. Similarly, the quality of service delivered in mental hospitals was very poor probably due to congestion. According to Golightley (2004), prior to the implementation of the changes many mentally retarded person could not get access to medical services because the insurance companies had barred them from taking medical cover. This means that unless friends and relatives help such persons, their health will continue to deteriorate. It is in this regard that insurance companies are being encouraged to streamline their requirements to make insurance cover affordable to many people. This is because currently it is mostly the employed who are able to buy insurance products. This implies that governments have to combine efforts to assist the people who are in extreme poverty by paying for their mental health services (Power, 2010). Weare (2000) contends that the reforms in mental health services require the government to hire more medical personnel. This is because lack of enough personnel has been sighted as one of the core reasons for the decline in the quality of mental health services. This suggests that governments have to borrow more money because as new experts are being hired there is also technology and infrastructure, and all of these are to be carried out by governments. That is why non-governmental and private entities are required to help in improving the delivery of mental health services. Among the approaches employed in improving service delivery in this sector is the incorporation of mental health centers with existing general health care centers and establishing new ones at the community level. When services are brought closer to the people, there is no excuse of not accessing them (Atkinson, 2011). The major hurdle in implementing changes in mental health services has been lack of money to facilitate the construction of new facilities and recruitment of more personnel. It is expected that once these measures are put in place the quality of mental health services will go up because there will be many service providers, and thus there will be stiff competition (Golightley, 2004). This means that mental health service providers will have to improve their work and reduce their service charge rates. Presently, people are simply taking what is available because they do not have alternatives (Segal & Segal, 2011). However, there are several options that can be used to solicit funds for the implementation processes. Power (2010) suggests that one of the most common methods entails taxation and borrowing money from the public through treasury bonds. In addition, governments can make mental health insurance compulsory through taxation and social insurance. The government should also instill a law to make sure that each person has an insurance coverage, and failure to this implies that they are subjec
