As a member of the Global Mental Health Action Network, you can expect to…

Enjoy direct access to experts and expert resources from around the globe, to inform your own work. And take the chance to contribute your own expertise, working together with other members to build evidence to develop policy positions, recommendations and campaigns that will deliver lasting change.

Learn what others are doing, as well as how and when they are doing it. You will discover new opportunities to join in and align with the work of other members, and to amplify and recruit more advocates to your own initiatives.

Find people to work with across sectors, topics and regions. The breadth of members in our network is vast, which creates an exciting environment to grow fresh ideas, different perspectives and new relationships with like-minded people from around the world.

Work in groups dedicated to accelerating political and financial support for global mental health. We are the largest global mental health network focused on advocacy and our members push for progress through joint communications and advocacy projects.
