Applications are open for the Global Mental Health Fellowship Program 2026 (Cohort 5). Every experience shapes us, the people we meet, the communities we grow up in, the challenges we face, the things we observe, and the lessons we learn all influence how we understand the world, including mental health. For Cohort 5, Global MHF is creating space for young people to bring those perspectives into meaningful conversations, develop practical skills, connect across communities and cultures, and turn learning into action.
Key Eligibility Criteria
- Age: Be between 20 and 25 years old.
- Experience: No prior experience required, just passion, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
- Focus: Be a young person who wants to bring their unique lived experiences and community insights into meaningful advocacy.
Fellowship Benefits
- Practical Skills: Learn the tools needed to become a genuine changemaker.
- Global Network: Connect with peers across different communities and cultures.
- Safe Space: Share your perspective in an inclusive environment that values your unique voice.
- Flexibility: The fellowship is 100% virtual, making it easy to balance with your schedule.
How to Apply
The application isn't about having all the answers, it's designed to help the organisers get to know your perspective, curiosity, experiences, and what you hope to contribute and become. Apply through the Global Mental Health Fellowship application form before the deadline of September 26, 2026.
