Movement For Global Mental Health
The Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH) is a virtual network of individuals and organisations that aim to improve services for people living with mental health problems and psychosocial disabilities worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where effective services are often scarce. Two principles are fundamental to the Movement: scientific evidence and human rights.

The MGMH appreciates the time and contributions from volunteers, who often assist with various activities, including:
- Moderate the MGMH website and inform the Principal Coordinator of any irregularities or malfunctions in relation to the website
- Source content/ write articles for the MGMH website, newsletter, social media
- Add evidence-based resources to the website
- Recruit members through promoting the MGMH
- Assist with email enquiries – respond and refer to relevant resources
- Identify potential funders for the MGMH activities
- Assist with the planning and hosting of the biennial Global Mental Health Summit
Volunteers are now able to register with the MGMH Volunteer Network and find local and international events and opportunities to offer volunteer services. Just click on “Register as volunteer” on the Home Page, and in an instance, you are registered and can visit the Volunteer Portal to check out what opportunities are available.
