About Lagos MiND
Lagos State's Mental Health in Development project, grounded in the national philosophy of social justice and equity.
Our purpose
Mental health belongs in every part of how a state develops
Lagos MiND sits within the Lagos State Ministry of Health. It exists to make mental health a normal part of health service delivery, public conversation and policy across the state — not a specialist concern handled somewhere out of sight.
The project runs services, builds workforce capacity, commissions research and works with partners across government, academia, civil society and the private sector.
What we set out to do
Four commitments
Partnership
Create cross-collaboration and partnerships with local and international stakeholders working in mental health.
mhGAP in every primary health centre
Facilitate adoption and delivery of the Mental Health Gap Action Programme across all primary health centres, with the Federal Ministry of Health and the State Primary Health Care Board.
Capacity and infrastructure
Improve the capacity and infrastructure needed for effective mental health systems and service delivery statewide.
