HM was birthed to promote mental health education registered in Spain and globally active, offices in Spain and Ireland. One of the goals of the foundation is the eradication of stigma surrounding mental health conditions.
The global burden of Mental conditions is enormous, with five of the ten Most disabling medical conditions.Rapid development in technology and shift in cultural change demand new approaches and methods.
The existing framework to address the challenges posed by technology proliferation, climate change,war, disaster and cultural change is inadequate. This is unprecedented considering the data we have available. There is so much data available but it appears there is lack of wisdom to manage such data. Further research is required and it is our goal to contribute to open research, that is, research for the people and with the people. Research that will cover the ambiguity and uncertainty of the user´s experience.
We plan to engage the community and liaise with policymakers to effect change. We intend to engender this change through mental health education and by employing health care research findings to persuade policy makers to put measures in place that guarantee fairness in the provision of healthcare.
Independent Research
We are at the fore front of pushing for open research, that is, research for the public with the public. Multifactorial elements are indispensable where diverse values are at play.
We welcome multidisciplinary research and we also take part in interdisciplinary researches. We involve User crowds,patient´s advocate groups,professional associations and policy makers during our research design stage.
In addition,we also bring our research directly to the people. We unequivocally believe that the future of research is in the direction of openness.
OUR OBJECTIVES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health conditions
Disseminating cutting-edge researches to a public audience
Promoting mental Health education to foster positive mental health
Raising awareness on pluralistic treatments
Improving the health-care ecosystem
Abolishing existing silos in favor of healthcare that is predicated on User-centered solutions
Ensuring fairness in the provision of healthcare
A systematic unfairness in healthcare can become systemic, the care of the Other ought to be a value beyond law. Dr. Bamijoko-Okungbaye Abiola.
I was inspired by all other thinkers before me. There is something that resonates with me after reading the works of various thinkers, I quickly figure out that they had a vision and created a platform to elicit change. Appropriate habits can be elusive but not illusive. We believe through mental health education we can create habits that can profoundly reduce the manifestation of mental condition.
Mental health is always a topic that people tend to avoid and when people talk about subjects with mental conditions, people tend to focus on the labelling the condition and in certain cases the voices of mental condition subjects are not taken seriously. The founders are well-versed with this topic and know that the way forward is to change our understanding regarding mental conditions.
It is our belief that by supporting those having mental conditions, we are on the route to eradicate the stigma surrounding mental conditions. Please join and support us to achieve our objectives, as Emmanuel Levinas puts it: one comes not into the world but into question. It is in this process of questioning that we find ourselves. Support and together we will make the Change happen.
