There is no health without mental health
People are talking about mental health now more than ever before. At United for Global Mental Health, we’re turning talk into action.
World Mental Health Day 2026
Care Not Custody
Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.
Millions are still met with walls instead of community support. Led by people with lived experience, we’re calling on governments to replace confinement with care in the community.
Professionals, policymakers, researchers and community leaders: join our new Allies of Deinstitutionalisation action group.

World Mental Health Day 2026
Movement for Mental Health
Regular physical activity can cut the risk of depression by up to 30%, yet policy and funding haven’t caught up with evidence.
We’re building a global coalition of donors, civil society organisations, practitioners, policymakers and sport leaders to change that. If your work touches movement and mental health, we want to hear from you.
Join the coalition
