IIMHL organizes systems for leaders to share innovations, network and problem solve across countries and agencies. The overall aim is to promote mental health and well-being for everyone. This includes developing leaders who can create the best possible conditions for mental health in all sectors across the life-span. Equally, it includes developing leaders who can deliver the best possible outcomes for people who use mental health and addictions services and their families.

There is no direct cost to become a member of IIMHL. You are eligible to join IIMHL if you are in a leadership role.

 

IIMHL engages leaders from the mental health, addictions, mental wellness, public health and primary health fields, as well as academia and boundary spanners – innovators and leaders for mental health in sectors such as technology, education, housing, Indigenous and cultural health, business, etc.

Emerging leaders in these areas are also welcome to join.
