Interviewee: The Institute of Medicine U.S. (2022) narrates that nurses strive to see every healthcare program's successful implementation through their skills and professional expertise. Nurses' duty in program implementation ranges from playing the leadership role, active participation, and driving forces that lead to the program's achievement. These roles vary significantly between design and implementation. However, in the program design, nurses demonstrate their duties iproviding expert knowledge, ideas, and skills on how the health care program should work to benefit the needy population. For example, in the design phase, nurses participate in the program's election, delegation and suggest ideas, procedures, and policies necessary for accomplishing the plan. While in the implementation stage, nurses enhance active participation, teamwork, provide education, training, also evaluate the program outcome in alignment with the expected outcome (Betz et al., 2016). Interviewer: Who are the healthcare team members that you believe is most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why? Interviewee: Though every mind counts in the achievement of every healthcare program, however, there is a key group of people with vital roles for this program's successful outcome. Therefore, psychiatrists, clinical counselors, nurses, and patients. The psychiatrist plays their roles in bringing their expertise and knowledge through evidence-based practice. And the clinical counselor brings their psychological input; nurses contribute with their skill, leadership, and professionalism. And the patients contribute through their active participation (Salmond & Echevarria, 2017). In conclusion, the prevalence of mental health problems is complex. Its effects cost not only financial but also the social and physical being of the affected individual, families, and society. Thus, it has led to the design and implementation of different programs to enhance the affected population's lives and wellbeing and curb further occurrence. To achieve the goals and denied these programs' outcomes, it is essential that all stakeholders, especially the nurses, demonstrate their leadership and advocacy power for a successful program outcome
