About Us
At ISMHAA, we strongly believe that mental health is everyone’s responsibility.
The International Society for Mental Health Advocacy and Action (ISMHAA) was born to turn intentions into real action. It is a global platform that brings together psychologists, mental health professionals, policymakers, industry leaders, NGOs, students, and communities from all over the world, all working towards one shared goal:to create tangible, measurable, and sustainable impact in the field of mental health.
