There is no health without mental health
Who We AreUnited for Global Mental Health brings people, ideas and influence together to accelerate action on mental health.
Mental health is shaped by decisions.
Decisions made in governments. In global institutions. In funding decisions. In health systems. In communities.
We work across all of these spaces to make mental health a political priority, influence the decisions that shape people's lives and help more people have the power to shape those decisions themselves.
