This #WorldMentalHealthDay focuses on humanitarian emergencies — one of many settings where mental health is essential.
Evidence-based care needs strong research. And that means sustained investment.
At @IAMHRF, we’re driving action and collaboration across the sector.

Headline says: Driving the Adoption of Common Measures. Orange text reads: We aim to find informative measures that are accessible worldwide. Below that reads: Given the fragmentation of mental health data, this initiative aims to simplify comparison, communication, and interpretation of research by using common measures. Next to this text is an orange and green graphic of a mixing board, with different levers put to different position.
Mental health research spans cultures & contexts - but without shared tools, we can’t compare what works.
We’re driving adoption of common measures to make data more useful across studies.
