OUR OFFERINGS
We are in the business of connecting all things brain health: people to people, people to issue areas, organisations to governmental priorities, issue areas to issue areas.
AT BHC, WE ARE MAKING THE CONNECTIONS THAT MATTER IN BRAIN HEALTH
Global events programming
for action in the brain health space. We lean on expertise including specific training to curate conversations that result in action and include accountability.
At key global moments, we curate programs focused on brain health and all the issues connected to it: climate, technology, inclusion, social determinants, and more.
Our global network includes multinational business leaders, access to governments even through administration changes, multilateral institutions, academic thought leaders, the hardest working people on the ground in civil society, startups, and those with lived experience of the challenges they face in their day-to-day lives.
We believe that conversations on the global stage must be shaped through collaboration among all those stakeholders – that the magic happens throughout the process of curating dialogues designed to spur action, not just when panelists say something emotive in front of a camera.
Meaningful, respectful engagement opportunities
with people with lived experience. Guided by our own experience of mental ill-health and our global network of peers within global mental health advocacy, we’ve created an offering on how best to engage people with lived experience in policies, programs, and research that affects them.
Many organizations – in particular those in healthcare focused on mental health – have an interest in understanding the perspectives of those they serve. We call this group “people with lived experience” (PWLE) of mental ill-health (or mental illness or brain illness).
The problem is that these organizations often operate on a transactional approach, focused on box-ticking rather than creating respectful, meaningful engagement opportunities.
As a result, they push their organizations further away from PWLE communities, rather than closer to them. They end up exacerbating the problem they’re trying to solve.
Teams across an organization – from medical and clinical to commercial and legal – need to understand a set of principles, tactics, and strategies for successful lived experience engagement. That’s what we offer: training workshops tailored to your needs, focused on meaningfully meeting compliance and ethical requirements in developing policies, programs, and even therapeutics focused on mental ill-health.
