Here are the key messages from #MHForAll Webinar: State of Mental Health: World Health Assembly (led by the Global Mental Health Action Network)

This is the first time that there will be an agenda item on mental health in emergencies at the World Health Assembly (WHA). This is an important advocacy moment, as Member States will be speaking on mental health.

Mental health will be discussed twice on this year’s World Health Assembly agenda. It will be discussed first in Agenda item 13.2 on Non Communicable Diseases, and then in Agenda item 18.

The WHA will make a decision on whether or not to adopt the updated Mental Health Action Plan. This is important as indicators and targets have been updated, and there is a slightly more refined look at countries’ progress on mental health.

We also heard insights from some of the challenges involved in changing mental health legislation, and why securing funding makes all the difference.
