Abstract
Since 40 years ago, the mental health services providing strategies have been dramatically changed worldwide. They are also considered as a new revolution in mental health and thus named as community-based mental health movement. Moreover, mental health centers in Iran have been established in order to make a change in urban community-based mental health (CMHC). The first CMHC was founded in 2010 in the 16th district of Tehran. In Yazd, it was established in 2010. In this article, the steps for establishment of the first CMHC are described.
