GLOBAL MENTAL HEALTH ACTION NETWORK (GMHAN)
equity, solidarity, and systemic care reform
As a member of GMHAN, Translations of Hope (TOH) contributes to global mental health advocacy, equity, solidarity, and systemic care reform. We joined because we wanted to walk beside others who believe in a better world—one where mental health care is not an afterthought, but a shared human priority.
Member of GMHAN: Why We Joined
As of July 21, 2025, Ink Gladiators Press—through our initiative Translations of Hope (TOH)—officially joined the Global Mental Health Action Network (GMHAN).
GMHAN is a space where advocacy, experience, and collective action meet. We believe that meaningful change in mental health must be rooted not just in systems or policies, but in stories, healing, and creative expression. GMHAN brings together people across the world to ensure that mental health stays at the heart of sustainable, inclusive, and equitable development.
Why This Matters to Us
Translations of Hope (TOH) began by supporting diversity—translating poems into many languages and offering compassion during moments of deep vulnerability.
- 🕊️ Amplifying Voices: We carry voices across geographies, assumptions, and generations—especially those not always heard in traditional spaces.
- 🕊️ Creative Alignment: Our books, projects, and building storytelling tapestries reflect GMHAN’s commitment to inclusion, truth-telling, and community-rooted healing.
- 🕊️ Community Belief: We joined because we wanted to walk beside others who also believe in a better world—one where mental health care, human dignity, and storytelling-as-advocacy truly matter.
What’s Next
These are the first steps—real, tangible, and open to all.
Share Your Gift: Submit words, art, and creativity for The Lanterns to carry hope across languages.
Through Translations of Hope, we have begun to release little collection series. Over time, we hope these steps light the way for deeper collaborations within the community. We also hope to listen, learn, and keep growing with this evolving network.
