The Global Mental Health Advocacy Forum
We host bi-annual convenings where members are able to engage in an in-depth exploration of relevant and timely themes and opportunities, through panel events and workshops. In 2024, we hosted our meeting online, across THREE TIME ZONES. We spotlighted the incredible work being done by Working Group members across the globe, with the session agendas being led entirely by Action Network members. This was the largest global convening of mental health advocates!
Monthly #MHForAll Webinars
Our #MHForAll webinar series has been running since April 2020. During these sessions, we feature the perspectives of panellists from around the world; including academics, advocates, policymakers, UN agencies, and people with lived experience - often from our membership. Each webinar offers dedicated time for an audience Q&A. Note: webinars are available to non-members.
Knowledge Exchange SessionsWe hold regular meetings throughout the year where members can share their experiences, research and examples of best practices in an interactive forum. Members have the opportunity to ask questions, and get advice from their peers.
*Given the global nature of our network, we host our regular events online.* -
