The LIGMH should be seen as a main stakeholder in the Global Mental Health community, in continuity with the successful mental health initiatives and projects developed in recent years through the collaboration of Faculdade de Ciências Médicas/NOVA Medical School of Lisbon and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, with the technical support of the World Health Organization.

The Institute is an independent organization, hosted by the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas/NOVA Medical School of Lisbon. The founding members of the new Institute include the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas/NOVA Medical School of Lisbon, the National School of Public Health of Portugal and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. A selected group of public health and mental health experts has also joined the institutional founding group in their personal capacity.
