Why Iloilo City?

The Philippines has made incredible progress in mental health, from upgraded legislation, to leading digital innovations and significant government funding commitments. There’s so much we can learn from these achievements, as well as the country’s traditional and local approaches to power sharing, healing and community development. Iloilo City is the perfect place to showcase them.

Iloilo is a bold and meaningful choice. The city is known for its progressive approach to sustainability, climate action, and mental health education in schools. It is deeply rooted in history, with preserved heritage sites, and an exciting food scene that landed it the prestigious title of 'UNESCO City of Gastronomy' in 2023. We look forward to welcoming you to the Philippines' 'City of Love' next year! 

Pourquoi Iloilo City ?

Les Philippines ont réalisé des progrès considérables en matière de santé mentale, grâce à une législation modernisée, des innovations numériques de pointe et des engagements financiers gouvernementaux importants. Nous avons beaucoup à apprendre de ces réussites, ainsi que des approches traditionnelles et locales du pays en matière de partage du pouvoir, de guérison et de développement communautaire. La ville d'Iloilo est l'endroit idéal pour les mettre en avant.

Iloilo est un choix audacieux et significatif. La ville est connue pour son approche progressiste en matière de développement durable, d'action climatique et d'éducation à la santé mentale dans les écoles. Profondément ancrée dans l'histoire, elle possède un patrimoine préservé et une scène gastronomique passionnante qui lui a valu le prestigieux titre de « Ville UNESCO de la gastronomie » en 2023. Nous avons hâte de vous accueillir dans la « Ville de l'amour » des Philippines l'année prochaine !

By working in small groups and surfacing lived examples from diverse regions, we will generate insights that highlight both the shared and unique ways mental health stigma manifests across the world.

“Don’t follow the money: Rebuilding mental health funding and power around people”

Financing mental health can often feel complex, political, and out of reach, even for tireless advocates striving for sustainable change and inclusion. Too often, funding priorities and programme designs are shaped by donor agendas or global frameworks rather than by the lived experiences of users and local needs. This panel discussion with international donors, mental health advocates and decision-makers, will reflect on the urgent need for alternative funding solutions and policy interventions to mitigate the growing mental health crisis at a time of international development funding cuts. Along with the attendees, we will co-produce advocacy strategies and plans for effective system change.
