Strategies for financing mental health
Global issues, such as mental health, demand a collaborative response that engages the full spectrum of financial capital available. We have seen smart financial mechanisms deployed in other sectors that have allowed different types of funder to work together, reduce risk and unlock new resources.
The Coalition for Mental Health Investment’s mental health financing resources aim to explore how a range of sustainable and collaborative financing approaches can be similarly applied to global mental health. We hope these resources offer practical guidance for funders, implementers, innovators, policymakers and advocates alike.
