This platform will serve as a global online forum to connect people and organizations engaged in democratic, community-based, and relational practices in mental health. Our aim is to build an inclusive international network that brings together individuals and groups committed to developing or sustaining approaches that enable people experiencing mental distress in more humane, participatory, and relational ways.

Through this network, we will:

• Provide a platform for diverse voices from across the globe, fostering a polyphony of ideas, creativity, and perspectives.
• Host online and in-person events that encourage dialogue, exchange, and dissemination of democratic and community-based practices.
• Produce and share resources — including papers, videos, articles, and reflective pieces — to strengthen global collaboration.

By taking these next steps together, we aim to nurture a vibrant, connected, and creative international community that supports and advances democratic relational approaches in mental health.
