The Global Mental Health Action Network is a free to access membership organisation established to connect people and resources towards improving global mental health advocacy and practice.

How are we funded?

The Global Mental Health Action Network is committed to openness and objectivity. We are supported by the generosity of corporate philanthropy and private foundations. We are grateful to the lululemon Center for Social Impact, the Wellcome Trust, Kokoro, Pinterest and Adobe Foundation for funding our activities in recent years.

We do not accept donations from pharmaceutical companies, nor from any part of the harmful products industry. Members of our network who work in pharmaceutical companies are asked to declare this, as well as to cite conflicts of interest.

Further information on this and the principles that drive our network can be found in our Terms of Reference.

With more than 4,000 members from civil society, NGOs, academia, governments, international organisations, and the private sector, from over 150 countries there are many reasons to be part of our growing network.

Mental health experts, campaigners and advocates – including those with lived experience – come from an incredibly diverse range of backgrounds. We work hard to include the experiences and perspectives often missed in conversations about global mental health.

We know that our mental health is profoundly shaped by the circumstances in which we are born, grow, work, live and age. We therefore endeavour to work with partners who reflect that breadth of experiences. We respect local, cultural and lived expertise, as well as academic and technical training.
