There is an imperative for a new ecology of global mental health and disability that positions the individual and society as inextricably linked within a human rights framework. The overarching goal of the Global Mental Health Human Rights & Policy Institute is to offer a training in evidence-based policy and program development in global mental health, disability, and human rights. The institute will present knowledge and guidance across disciplines and practices to collectively work towards a rights model of disability and mental health, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the global health and the development agendas, and in emergency humanitarian contexts.
