The Global Alliance for Mental Health Advocates (GAMHA) was launched by Mdm Halimah Yacob, President of Republic of Singapore, at the 1st Global Summit for Mental Health Advocates on 4 Oct 2018 in Singapore.
It is a special global mental health project initiated by Silver Ribbon (Singapore) and Lundbeck and hopes to serve as a platform to connect all stakeholders - organizations and individuals such as policymakers, grassroots leaders, representatives of government agencies, mental health professionals, mental health practitioners, treatment providers, teachers, students, journalists, consumers, caregivers, etc, across the world to discuss, learn, network, share best practices, ideas, knowledge & resources on mental health promotion and advocacy, and stay connected in improving the quality of life of people living with mental health issues & their caregivers and promoting an inclusive and gracious society.
GAMHA is organizing the 2nd series of their "Mental Health Exchange" that aims to provide a platform for everyone to learn from GAMHA Advisory Panel Members on the programmes and initiatives from various countries.
This year's theme is: New Norms, New Mindsets: Moving On Together, where the focus is on recovery post COVID-19 and building resilience for future challenges in their own countries! There will also be a Q&A segment towards the end of the session where participants can interact with the speakers.
