Why Global Digital Mental Health Collaboration Matters More Than Ever

In a world increasingly defined by complexity, the conversation around mental health has never been more urgent.

At the heart of this discourse stands eMHIC, a trusted global peak body known for uniting thought leaders, mental health commissioners, lived experience champions, clinicians, innovators, and academia from all corners of the world.

At eMHIC, digital mental health is not a theoretical promise but a collective commitment to enable the development and implementation of ethical and accessible solutions grounded in lived experience, guided by research, and supported by cross-sector collaboration. A commitment to ensuring mental health care is no longer a privilege but a global right.

Trusted Global Partnerships Driving System-Level Change

Affectionately referred to as “the UN of Digital Mental Health,” the eMHIC Congress has earned this title not through grandeur but through the depth and authenticity of eMHIC’s relationships—with the member countries around the world, United Nations, UNICEF, World Health Organization (WHO), World Federation of Public Health Associations, APEC Digital Hub for Mental Health, Google Health, and many others who continue to shape mental health policy and innovation on a global scale.

These are not casual affiliations. They are symbiotic relationships—rooted in mutual respect, shared vision, and a dedication to improving access and advancing equity in mental health care worldwide.

eMHIC25: A Decade of Global Impact

eMHIC25 marks the 10th anniversary of the eMHIC Congress and carries forward the spirit of these partnerships. This landmark event will convene an extraordinary cohort of leaders actively shaping the future of mental health care.

Among the many esteemed voices joining us:

• Dr. Zeinab Hijazi (Global Lead on Mental Health, UNICEF) champions the needs of youth in low-resource and humanitarian settings.

They will be joined by policymakers, commissioners, researchers, and lived experience leaders from over 45 countries, each bringing insight, urgency, and a shared commitment to change. View our growing list of speakers here.

eMHIC25 is not a passive event. It is an engine for collaboration and transformation, where strategies are co-created, best practices exchanged, and scalable and sustainable solutions realized. This is where policy meets practice, and innovation becomes impact. 

In an age of unprecedented connectivity, eMHIC25 represents a rare opportunity to stand alongside the world’s most influential thought leaders and organizations, exchange what works, and walk away with solutions ready to be adapted, adopted, and amplified across diverse contexts.

This is not about prestige. It’s about purpose.

Together, we’re driving meaningful and lasting change —one partnership, one conversation, one system-level shift at a time. Join us!
