Building a mental health ecosystem for India: IMHA Launches India's Largest Cross-Sector Mental Health Alliance with 215 Members in year one
Jul 31, 2025
New Delhi [India], July 31: Mental health is finally part of the national conversation, but how we respond to it is still evolving. India is home to nearly 1/3 of the global numbers for depression, suicide, and addiction. Too often and for most people in India; mental healthcare remains inaccessible, fragmented, urban-centric, or narrowly biomedical in approach. What's missing is an ecosystem that can connect diverse stakeholders, build collective capacity, and embed mental healthcare into the everyday realities of people. Perceiving this gap, the India Mental Health Alliance (IMHA) - a growing national network of 215 member organisations - has emerged as a nation-wide force, coming together to reimagine India's mental health landscape.
