WHO WE ARE
WORLD MENTAL HEALTH COALITION
In 2017, when we saw that mental health organizations were being politically pressured to keep silent in the face of an unprecedented public health risk to the nation, we decided to step in where they acquiesced and placed self-preservation over protection of society. This is how we became the nation’s first and largest mental health professionals-only organization to address the issue of dangerous leadership and our professional societal responsibility.
As the most imminent dangers of the Trump presidency abated, we have now turned our focus to prevention: improving societal mental health so that a body politic may not readily be attracted to psychologically dangerous leaders. Our activities have expanded from U.S.-based issues to global ones, just as our membership has expanded. We hope that you will join us in our mission.
