Making the Connections that Matter in Brain and Mental Health
Brain Health Collective helps organizations strengthen global mental health strategies and meaningfully engage people with lived experience.
Drawing on lived experience, professional expertise, and deep knowledge of the global health policy calendar, we support partners to build connections and deliver impact where it matters most.
GLOBAL MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING
LIVED EXPERIENCE ENGAGEMENT
WHY "BRAIN HEALTH"?
We use “brain health” as an inclusive way to capture both brain and mental health. While these are distinct areas — and not all stakeholders use the term in the same way — our approach reflects their deep interconnections.
The name “Brain Health Collective” signals this broader vision, while our services explicitly focus on global mental health and meaningful lived experience engagement.
