PROGRAM
IMCES is committed to supporting the movement toward mental health reform and ending the stigma associated with mental illness by bringing awareness of the problem to the world-wide community.
The World Health Organization (WHO) & the United Nations (UN) have announced a Human Rights Emergency declaring depression as a number one global burden of disease. People with mental disabilities around the world face discrimination, violence, and abuse. Even in America, one in four people are living with mental illness. Many will not seek help due to Fear of Stigma & Discrimination.
