INTRODUCING A NEW RESOURCE
THE
GLOBAL ONLINE DIRECTORY OF MENTAL HEALTH PATIENT/SERVICE USER,
FAMILY MEMBER/CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUPS, AND MENTAL HEALTH
ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS ORGANIZATIONS
The World Federation for Mental
Health (WFMH) is pleased to introduce a new resource that will
help individuals locate and connect with mental health
patient/service user and family member/caregiver support groups
and organizations, and with non-governmental mental health
advocacy and information/awareness organizations around the
world.
The
Global Online Directory of Mental Health Patient/Service User,
Family Member/Caregiver Support Groups, and Mental Health
Advocacy and Awareness Organizations is an effort to
make available a comprehensive worldwide searchable directory of
existing mental health patient/service user, family
member/caregiver support groups, and mental health advocacy
organizations.
WFMH hopes that the Directory
will stimulate international awareness of the great importance
of advocacy to improve mental health care and combat stigma.
Many of the organizations listed are engaged in advocacy and/or
public education as their primary mission or consider it to be
an important component of their work.
More that 3,000 such
organizations are included in this first edition of the
Directory, and are arranged by country and area of interest
(anxiety disorders, depression, mental health associations,
schizophrenia, etc). As additional support groups and
organizations are identified, the Directory will be periodically
updated and expanded.
WFMH extends its appreciation
to the organizations, including its Affiliate and Voting member
organizations, for their assistance in locating and cataloging
groups and organizations in their countries.
The development of this
Directory has been made possible through a grant from
AstraZeneca. WFMH extends its thanks and appreciation for the
support and encouragement it received from AstraZeneca that has
made the completion of this undertaking possible.
