4th Global Mental Health Advocacy Forum, IloIlo City, Philippines

Reimagining Global Mental Health: No Voice Left Behind

The Global Mental Health Advocacy Forum 2026 will be the fourth global event organised by the Global Mental Health Action Network. It will take place in the beautiful Iloilo City, Philippines and online, and we are looking forward to working with a range of local members and partners doing exciting work in the country and region. 

The Forum is the largest convening of civil society stakeholders working on mental health advocacy. This event unites experts and advocates from 170+ countries who are dedicated to improving mental health for all.

Over 3 days, we will showcase the efforts of global mental health advocacy and provide a platform to strengthen collective impact. This exciting event brings together voices often underrepresented in global forums, including activists, grassroots organisations, practitioners, researchers, UN agencies, and donors.
