GMHPN in partnership with Stellenbosch University, developed a survey intended to provide an annual summary of the experiences and perspectives of the three categories of people within the mental health sector:
The summary aims to increase awareness and understanding of the issues most impacting on the lives of PWLE; to compare actual experiences at grassroots level to the progress reported by countries; and to inform better policy and practice on mental health.
