Help Us Make Mental Health a Global Priority

 

Invest in a future where everyone, everywhere has access to the mental health support they need.

United for Global Mental Health collaborates with governments, academia, businesses, UN partners, civil society, and communities to break down barriers to mental health support worldwide.

Mental health is a human right — but nearly 1 billion people live without the care and support they need. Together, we are changing that.

Your donation will help us raise awareness, advocate for change, and secure funding for mental health initiatives globally.

1 in 5 young people have a mental health condition.

50% of mental health conditions start under the age of 14.

More than 700,000 people die by suicide every year, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

What Your Support Powers

We ensure no one is left behind by prioritising key strategic themes.

Rights: We advocate for laws and policies that treat mental health with dignity — and we hold decision-makers accountable.

Health Systems: We push for the integration of mental health into health systems everywhere. Let’s make mental health care as normal as checking your blood pressure.

Ecosystems: We recognise that strengthening the environments we all spend time in – from our communities to our workplaces – means better mental health for everyone.

Field Building through the Global Mental Health Action Network: The Global Mental Health Action Network (GMHAN) unites diverse voices, advocates, researchers, and policymakers, fostering collaboration and leadership from marginalised communities. Through capacity building and shared resources, GMHAN drives collective action for inclusive, lasting change in global mental health.

Why United for Global Mental Health?

1) Your money fights for a hidden crisis.

1 billion people live with untreated mental health conditions – yet less than 2% of global health funding goes to mental health. Your donation helps close this deadly gap.

2) We unite the players who can actually change the system.

People don’t always work together – we make sure it happens. Your support fuels coalitions that shift policies, budgets, and attitudes worldwide.

3) Mental health is a human right – but millions are denied it.

From refugees to frontline workers, a billion people are suffering in silence. Your donation helps break stigma around mental health and build care systems that leave no one behind.

4) Accountability matters.

We don’t just talk – we track progress and hold leaders accountable when they ignore mental health. Your voice (and donation) pushes them to act.
