The 4th Global Mental Health Advocacy Forum
Hybrid (in-person and online)
2-4 February 2026
The Global Mental Health Advocacy Forum 2026 will be the fourth global event organised by the Global Mental Health Action Network. It will take place in the beautiful Philippines and we are looking forward to be working with a range of local members and partners doing exciting work in the country and region.
The Forum is the largest convening of civil society stakeholders working on mental health advocacy. This event unites experts and advocates from 160+ countries, dedicated to improving mental health for all.
Our Global Mental Health Advocacy Forum is showcasing the efforts of global mental health advocacy and provides a platform to strengthen collective impact. It is the largest gathering of its kind in the world, bringing together people often not included in other international conferences and gatherings, including activists, grassroots organisations, practitioners, researchers, UN agencies and donors.
