United for Global Mental Health

Who we are

Worldwide mental health conditions are increasing and depression alone is on track to be the leading disease burden by 2030. The world is not yet equipped to handle this growing crisis, especially in low and middle income countries. The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has only increased the urgency to improve access to, and investment in, mental health care for all. 

United for Global Mental Health is dedicated to creating a world that enables good mental health for all. We focus on what will make the most difference to global mental health, and we build whatever it takes to make that happen.

• We are experts in advocacy, campaigning and financing to secure significant results.
• We are informed by people’s lived experience, across a diverse range of backgrounds.
• We are driven by a vision of a healthier, more productive and kinder world.

We unite: campaigners, practitioners, national organisations, businesses, people with lived experiences, funders, researchers, governments, and international bodies so that they can learn, collaborate and make greater progress together.

We incubate: Designing and setting up the initiatives with partners that will make the most impact on global mental health and helping them to grow and ultimately flourish independently.
