CAPI's latest report on #philanthropy for #mentalhealth features in this World Economic Forum article by Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Chairperson, Biocon and Trustee, The Live Love Laugh Foundation. Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/ep9WEYkU

On April 19, 2024, the Centre for Asian Philanthropy India (CAPI) launched its landmark report, 'Mindful Investment: Philanthropy for Mental Health in India.' A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pheroza Godrej for the unveiling. The highlight of the launch event was a compelling panel discussion on 'Measuring Success in Mental Health Programs,' thoughtfully co-hosted by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies. We were honored to have esteemed panelists: ~ Dr Tasneem Raja. Tasneem Raja, Head of Mental Health Initiatives, Indira Foundation ~ Priti Sridhar, CEO, Mariwala Health Initiative ~ Dr. Manoj Kumar, Founder and Clinical Director, Mental Health Action Trust (MHAT) The discussion was expertly moderated by Dr. Soumitra Pathare, Psychiatrist and Director of the Centre for Mental Health Law & Policy, ILS, Pune. Key #takeaways from the discussion: 1. Panelists emphasized that new funders should embrace risk-taking and focus on learning from both successful and unsuccessful interventions. 2. The discussion underscored the importance of adapting intervention strategies to community-specific needs, resisting the push for universal standards that may stifle innovation and contextual relevance. 3. Panelists also called for more cross-learning opportunities between seasoned and new funders to understand the complexity of measuring mental health outcomes and decipher the impact.

CAPI's Centre Head Ketaki Purohit is speaking at this tomorrow. Sign up to know more about philanthropy for mental health in India and the challenges donors face!

In the face of India's mental health crisis, philanthropy emerges as a beacon of hope, bridging critical gaps where resources are scarce. A new report by CAPI shows that donors can be powerful champions against the stigma, and help champion a paradigm shift to view mental well-being as a collective developmental goal: one where the private sector also has an important role to play. Philanthropic funding can empower and support grassroots nonprofits, community mental health models, nurture cross-sector collaborations, and seed research, driving a transformative agenda for mental health that promises a more resilient future.

World Health Organisation's Mental Health Atlas, 2020 highlights that low- and middle-income countries spend over 70% of their mental health budgets on tertiary care within institutions. In contrast, high-income countries allocate only 35% towards tertiary care, spending the rest on comprehensive approaches including primary care integration, community programs, education, and substance use interventions. In India, a significant amount of public funding, i.e., 85.4% of the mental health budget in directed towards two tertiary care institutions leaving very little funding for district and community-level mental healthcare programs. This is where #philanthropy can play a role and fill the gaps. Join our report launch and panel discussion on April 19th to learn more about #philanthropicinitiatives in #mentalhealth and strategies for #fundingmentalhealthinterventions in #India.

The stigma surrounding #mentalhealth poses a significant barrier to funding. Dr. Pratima Murthy, Director of #NIMHANS emphasized the transformative power of personal experiences in an interview with #CAPI: "One understands mental health concerns even more sensitively when one has personally experienced it. That can become a powerful agent of change." #Donors have a unique opportunity to #advocateformentalhealth - championing the cause, sharing their personal stories, endorsing initiatives that elevate awareness, and funding efforts aimed at dismantling stigma.  We're exploring these dynamics further! Join our #reportlaunch and #panel on April 19th. Dive into the transformative power of philanthropic initiatives in mental health and funding for mental health interventions in India.
