Working Groups
We work together to tackle specific issues through Working Groups. Group members meet regularly and create connections, co-produce resources and original content, and develop advocacy strategies to advance better global mental health.
Our Working Groups are established, steered and chaired by members of the Network. These groups allow members to collaborate on shared priorities and projects with the support of our Secretariat. As an Action Network member, you have the opportunity to participate in one or several Working Groups. The members of each Working Group decide on its objectives and priorities. The group's Co-Chairs lead the organisation of virtual meetings and online exchanges of the group.
