We are the first global organisation dedicated to empowering the voices of persons with lived experience.
GMHPN PLEDGE ...

"We commit to respect and embrace the diversity among our fellow peers. Throughout our interactions and engagement with each other, we will at all times be mindful of our differences when we act and react, and how we communicate verbally and non-verbally. Our differences come in many forms, from the communities where we live, learn and work; the language/s we speak; the culture that we grew up with and live by; to the religion or spirituality that we practice. These differences makes us unique individuals whose diversity we will celebrate, teach to and learn from our fellow peers."
