Rise and Thrive: Building resilient communities through inclusive mental health

Australia’s partnership with CBM Australia seeks to enhance mental health and psychosocial services, empower individuals with psychosocial disabilities, and foster resilient communities in Fiji and the Philippines. The initiative is achieving its goals by promoting effective rights-based models of care to ensure access to quality mental health services. This includes addressing community inclusion by fostering acceptance and support for the recovery of persons with psychosocial disabilities.

The program is contributing to support systems that enhance resilience among individuals and communities. It prioritises voices and accountability, ensuring that the perspectives of individuals with psychosocial disabilities are heard and their meaningful participation influences the design and implementation of mental health systems. 

By focusing on inclusive mental health, our partnership with CBM Australia aims to drive socio-economic development and cultivate an environment that promotes wellbeing for all.
