Being Initiative reposted this
Continuing the theme of #Equity, Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) has funded 132 mental health projects across 42 low- and middle-income countries since 2011. GCC is the host of the Being Initiative, a global youth mental health initiative, which funds youth mental health initiatives in 12 priority countries and includes other International Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders (IAMHRF) members and partners - Fondation Botnar, United for Global Mental Health and Orygen. 🎉 Over a decade of investing in mental health innovation culminated in the first-ever Being Global Gathering, held in Rabat, Morocco in November 2024. The event brought together innovators from across Grand Challenges Canada’s Global Mental Health portfolio, together with Being partners and youth advocates (https://bit.ly/4gfUlk0). 💡 Organised by Orygen, Being’s Learning and Support Network, the gathering provided an opportunity to reflect on successes and challenges in evidence generation, sustainability and scaling of mental health innovations. Events like this exemplify the power of #GlobalCollaboration, aligning efforts to create lasting change in #YouthMentalHealth.
