Advocacy for Our Call for Action
|
Successful advocacy is about change in practice, not merely raising awareness. The Call for Action in the Lancet series on global mental health lays the foundation for advocacy of this Movement . In the words of the call: “This Series has provided the evidence for advocacy. Now we need political will and solidarity, to translate this evidence into action. The time to act is now.”
