UNITED FOR GLOBAL MENTAL HEALTH
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.
World Mental Health Day 2021
Following a public vote by the World Federation of Mental Health, 'Mental Health in an Unequal World' has been announced as the official theme of WMHD this year.
This year's theme seeks to highlight that access to mental health services remains unequal, with between 75 - 95% of people with mental disorders in low and middle-income countries unable to access mental health services at all. This is in addition to high income countries, where access is not much better. Lack of investment in mental health disproportionate to the overall health budget contributes to the mental health treatment gap.
We will share latest updates as they come through. In the meantime, you can view highlights from World Mental Health Day 2020 in our video.
