Support our petition to urge the United Nations ​to include mental health indicators in the UN Development Agenda2030 
Support OUr Petition
You can take action to support the FundaMentalSDG initiative to strengthen mental health in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 
​
Time is of the essence. 
The UN have adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and mental health is included - A historic step for mental health! Now the UN need to make the SDGs work and measured with indicators. These are currently negotiated by the UN indicators experts committee IAEG-SDG. Only with strong SDG indicators mental health will really count in the development Agenda2030. 
​
Now time is of the essence to push for powerful mental health indicators! 
FundaMentalSDG proposes 2 indicators:
  • Indicator 23: Probability of dying between exact ages 30 and 70 from any of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or suicide
  • Indicator 28: Proportion of persons with a severe mental disorder (psychosis, bipolar affective disorder, or moderate-severe depression) who are using services
These indicators are fully aligned with the WHO Global Mental Health Action Plan. 
You can Take Action:
FundaMentalSDG has drafted a position paper and supporting documents (see below). 
Please send these documents to your national statistics department (if you have a direct contact to them, or to a general email address). In addition, you can also send these to UN STATs: statistics@un.org, with a simple email asking for inclusion of the indicators 23 & 28.
Thank you for your support!
