#MHForAll webinar series: Putting psychosis on the global mental health agenda

online

Webinar banner

Around the world more than 20 million people are affected by psychoses, putting them at high risk of experiencing impoverishment, premature mortality, stigma and human rights violations.

Despite the large number of people whose lives are negatively impacted by psychoses, research in this area remains relatively neglected in the field of global mental health.

So why is putting psychosis on the global mental health agenda so important? What is the role of the Lancet Psychiatry Commission on Psychoses in Global Contexts in achieving this?
JOIN THE DISCUSSION

The panel of speakers includes:

  • Craig Morgan, Co-Director of the Centre for Society and Mental Health at King’s College London
  • Rangaswamy Thara, Vice Chairperson at Schizophrenia Research Foundation
  • Soumitra Pathare, Director of the Centre for Mental Health Law & Policy
  • Ying Ying Lee, Research Officer at the Institute of Mental Health, Singapore
  • Mark van Ommeren (Chair)
If you have any questions you'd like to ask the panelists, please submit them to the Webinar Team at webinars@unitedgmh.org before Tuesday 29th June. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions via the chat box during the session.

READ THE NOTES AND WATCH THE RECORDING FROM THE #MHForAll webinar series: Putting psychosis on the global mental health agenda.

Key lessons from this week's webinar...

  • Psychosis affects more than 20 million people around the world. It is associated with human rights violations, poverty, homelessness, marked inequities, an under-resourcing of response, and a lack of care.

  • To date the plight of those living with psychosis, particularly in low resource settings, has been relatively neglected. As a consequence we lack the evidence base, public profile and movement for change.

  • Direct involvement of those with lived experience is particularly lacking. The ethos of “nothing about us without us” is still not always upheld, and this is something that the new commission is seeking to address.

  • Intersectionality is key. We need to take into account intersectionalities of those living with psychoses, and what living with psychosis means for different people in different settings and contexts.

  • Participation from those with lived experience is hugely important. If you have lived experience yourself, you can use this contact form to write in to the commission and share your areas of expertise.

Hi Angela and others. 

Here is the zoom link as hard to find the actual talk, at least for me. https://zoom.us/rec/play/qUwZg..._Hj.eumurytEEA9XABLc

This is a critical initiative (Commission), especially when you consider many organizations - hospitals etc. are firing up Client and Family Oriented Research.  As this is an international project, is there a facilitator type or organization here in Canada, working with Canadian organizations/hospitals etc. to align, support both the idea of people living with psychosis being key partners in addressing psychosis and our talk of  system transformation.?   

I'm concerned that, if we only sign up for this as, individuals and while this helps, we need more focus on implementation.
