The Lancet Commission on Ending Stigma and Discrimination in Mental Health

The new Lancet Commission on Ending Stigma and Discrimination in Mental Health is the result of work by over 50 contributors from across the world, notably including people with lived experience of a mental health condition. Containing testimonies and poems from people with lived experience, the Commission reviews the evidence on effective interventions to reduce stigma and calls for immediate action from governments, international organisations, employers, healthcare provider and media organisations, along with active contributions from people with lived experience, to work together to eliminate mental health stigma and discrimination.

GMHPN contributed to the WHO World Mental Health Report 2022

​The World mental health report: transforming mental health for all is designed to inspire and inform better mental health for everyone everywhere. Drawing on the latest evidence available, showcasing examples of good practice from around the world, and voicing people’s lived experience, it highlights why and where change is most needed and how it can best be achieved. It calls on all stakeholders to work together to deepen the value and commitment given to mental health, reshape the environments that influence mental health, and strengthen the systems that care for mental health.

Lived Experience Engagement: ​What is our value?
The purpose of this report is to inform funders, donors and relevant stakeholders of the experiences faced by lived experience and/or peer-led organisations in:
a) seeking and securing funding towards their work and
​b) to advise them on how they could better support lived experience initiatives. 

In spite of the growing inclusion of lived experience into engagement and high-level meetings to guide positive change, the concern now is the element of non-remuneration for work done. The objective of sharing the insights in this report is not only to encourage more support for lived experience/ peer-led organisations and those working with people with lived experience, but also start a meaningful conversation on this matter.
