Abstract
Scaling up the training of human resources to address access problems can be the first step in addressing the MHC access and treatment gaps. The certification of laypersons as community-based mental health counselors, although legally tenuous, can be pioneered by tertiary-level MHC institutions. This certification has sound ethical justification and is a progressive step toward realizing universal mental health coverage.
