Global Mental Health Peer Network

We exist to empower, strengthen, and catalyse the voices of persons with lived experience worldwide.
Emergencies can intensify existing mental health challenges and create new ones, all while limiting access to care.

Strengthening support systems is key to protecting communities during crises.

Inclusion means recognising lived experience as essential expertise, not an afterthought. When participation is valued, systems become stronger and more responsive.

MENTAL HEALTH IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

When communities and policymakers work alongside people with lived experience, services become more responsive, inclusive and accountable.
This is how meaningful engagement transforms mental health.

Disinformation in mental health isn’t harmless. It distorts reality, fuels stigma and sidelines the voices of people with lived experience.
Evidence based information protects rights, strengthens autonomy and ensures support systems are built on truth not fear.

Inclusion starts with educators and administrators who champion equity in policy and practice. When schools foster safety, dignity, and a sense of belonging, they become engines of transformation.

When governments take a multisectoral approach, they move from treating mental health as a “health issue” to recognizing it as a human development imperative.

Mental health is a human right, a cornerstone of health, and a foundation for sustainable development.
Integrating mental health into all sectors ensures that well-being becomes a universal standard, not a privilege.

Mental health doesn’t start in hospitals; it begins in the environments where we live, learn, and work.
Governments must reshape these environments to reduce risks and support wellbeing so everyone can thrive.

Changing systems begins with changing who leads them. The mental health field has long relied on professionals about people, not with people. That’s changing. #

Effective deinstitutionalization requires a progressive reduction in institutional caseloads, increased discharges with strong continuity of care, fewer admissions through early intervention, and the scaling up of person-centered community-based & community-led support systems.

Behind every recovery story is more than survival; there’s strategy, learning, and resilience that can strengthen entire systems.

Social connection is a public health necessity. Treating social connection as a public health priority is as vital as promoting heart health.
