Are you ready to revolutionize mental health advocacy on a global scale? The Generation Mental Health Association (GenMH) is on a mission to transform the way we approach mental health, and they’re inviting you to be part of this groundbreaking journey. But here’s where it gets exciting: they’re hiring for five paid, remote roles open to applicants worldwide, as part of the Possibilities Collective—a youth-led initiative backed by the Wellcome Trust. This isn’t just another job posting; it’s a call to action for those passionate about amplifying the voices of young people with lived experience of mental health challenges (YPWLE).
Why This Matters: Mental health systems have long been criticized for being exclusionary and disconnected from the realities of those they aim to serve. The Possibilities Collective flips this narrative by placing YPWLE at the heart of research, advocacy, and capacity-building. But here’s where it gets controversial: Can a global initiative truly localize mental health solutions without losing its universal impact? We’ll explore that as we dive into the roles.
About the Possibilities Collective
This initiative is more than a program—it’s a movement. By blending community building, trauma-informed research, and youth leadership, the Collective aims to shift power dynamics in the global mental health ecosystem. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about creating solutions; it’s about fostering solidarity and ensuring those solutions are culturally relevant and accessible.
