IN PARTNERSHIP WITH STRONGMINDS

Mental health philanthropy: still in the shadows

Despite increasing attention during the pandemic, mental health philanthropy  is still lagging behind.  Many explanations have been given for this: the difficulty of diagnosis, the stigma mental illness can bring with it, the lack of a coordinated response from the medical and funding communities.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​In this virtual event, we'll be exploring the current state of mental health philanthropy, and what can be done to better support the sector. 

All event registrants will receive a recording of the event afterwards. 

Please note: By signing up to attend this event, you consent to your email address being shared with our partner StrongMinds, and to be contacted by them. Please email Alliance here if you have any questions.

Among the questions participants will discuss are: 

  •  ​​​​​​​What is philanthropy currently doing to support better mental health?

  • ​​​​​​​How can it do more?

  • ​​​​​​​What are the obstacles to its doing so?

  • ​​​​​​​What should its main role be – funding advocacy, research, treatment, support for mental well-being generally – or a combination of all of these?
