“We have to abandon the conceit that isolated personal actions are going to solve this crisis. Our policies have to shift.”

― Al Gore

We work to develop evidence-based mental health policies across the country to help every Nigerian enjoy good mental health, as well as experience better and faster recovery from mental illness. We thus inform and influence policies at national, state and local government levels.

Our Policy developments go hand-in-hand with our research, campaigns and service development activities which enable us to respond promptly to consultation documents on a range of issues that impact on mental health services and people with mental health problems.

We also produce our own policy briefings on key mental health issues for ministries, civil servants, opinion-formers and members of the public. We therefore aim to work closely with other voluntary sector organisations and professional bodies to maximise the impact of our policy work.
