The SA Mental Health Conference is not just another event—it is a defining moment in our country’s history. The 2023 inaugural conference catalysed policy change, strengthened community engagement, and inspired new investments in care.

Two years later – progress is under threat from severe donor funding cuts and the danger of being deprioritised in government budgets despite a rising demand for services.

This conference is where leaders from all sectors – people with lived experience, activists, researchers, implementers, government, civil society, business, and donors must come together to ensure that we chart a collective way forward to address the mental health crisis in the country. We cannot afford to lose the momentum from the 1st conference.

By partnering with us, your organisation can be part of a transformative national movement—one that recognises mental health as the country’s leading contributor to disease burden, with an estimated 90% treatment gap still to close.
