With this year's Mental Health Awareness Week focusing on taking action, we ask: which regions are acting in mental health research funding? The US is leading, but the UK, EU and Australia funders have doubled investment (now $1bn/year): www.iamhrf.org/funding-landscape #MHAWaction #MHAW #MHAW2026

Children and adolescents’ mental health research received just 18% funding globally over a decade (2014-2023). Even with recent increases, particularly outside the US (tripling for adolescents, +50% children), the gap remains. Check our new decade-long analysis: www.iamhrf.org/funding-landscape

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. 🔗 Learn more: iamhrf.org/common-measu... 📬 iamhrf.org/newsletter #MentalHealthResearch

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.
