About GAMIAN-Europe
Global Alliance of Mental Illness Advocacy Networks-Europe (GAMIAN-Europe), is a patient-driven pan-European organisation, representing and advocating the interests and rights of persons affected by mental ill health. Its main activities relate to advocacy, information, awareness-raising and education and partnership and capacity building. Overarching themes in our work relate to anti-stigma and discrimination and patients’ rights.
GAMIAN-Europe was established in 1998 as a representative coalition of patient organisations as it was felt that patients can and should play an effective and complementary role in developing positive and proactive policies and other initiatives with an impact on mental health issues and services.
Mental health is a matter of increasing importance to all of us. Everybody knows somebody that has some form of mental health problem. Some of us cope with the ups and downs of life well; others, on the other hand develop a mental illness. This can happen to any
of us: mental health concerns us all.
