Global Mental Health and Development Strategy

When mental health is part of your mission, the work needs a clear direction. DREF helps organizations set priorities and link mental health to development goals, community needs, and organizational responsibilities.

An engagement may involve reviewing your current approach, consulting relevant stakeholders, identifying gaps, and developing a practical strategy. We pay attention to language, cultural context, available resources, and the institutions that will carry the work forward.

This service suits NGOs, foundations, development partners, public institutions, and organizations integrating mental health into a wider mission.

Possible deliverables include a strategic review, stakeholder consultation summary, priority framework, organizational action plan, or recommendations for integrating mental health into an existing initiative.

We also support organizational strategic planning when it directly contributes to the agreed mental health or development objective.
