Advancing Brain Health for All

The IABH is a global platform dedicated to advancing, protecting, and promoting integrated brain and mental health through coordinated action in research, policy, healthcare, and public engagement.

The International Alliance on Brain Health (IABH) bridges global efforts toward integrated brain and mental health plans and their local implementation.

Established in Switzerland in June 2025 under the joint patronage of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) and the World Psychiatric Association (WPA), IABH is a global platform that connects experts, organisations, and decision-makers across disciplines and regions.

By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, reciprocal innovation, and implementation-oriented exchange between the Global North and Global South, the Alliance helps translate shared knowledge into meaningful action for better brain health worldwide.

Brain health initiatives and strategies discussed through IABH dialogues

IABH advances global brain health through three interconnected pillars.

Integrating disciplines to advance brain and mental health. IABH brings together neurology, psychiatry, and related fields to strengthen brain health strategies through interdisciplinary collaboration, shared learning, and exchange across diverse cultural and healthcare contexts.

Connecting people, organisations, and initiatives worldwide. Through international meetings, strategic partnerships, and implementation-focused activities, IABH strengthens collaboration across sectors and regions to accelerate progress in brain and mental health.

Turning global strategies into local action. IABH supports coordinated policies and implementation by facilitating stakeholder dialogue, promoting knowledge exchange, and strengthening political engagement at national and international levels.
