About the IIMHL and IIDL

The International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL) and the International Initiative for Disability Leadership (IIDL) are international learning collaboratives for mental health, addiction and disability leaders.

IIMHL and IIDL help leaders connect, share knowledge, and apply innovations to improve services. IIMHL and IIDL are government funded initiatives.

The Philosophy Behind the IIMHL/IIDL Leadership Exchange

The philosophy behind the IIMHL/IIDL Leadership Exchange is that once key leaders are linked together, they have the opportunity to begin collaborating and building an international partnership. The aim is to build relationships and networks that are mutually helpful for leaders, organizations and countries. The benefits of such a collaborative effort will cascade down to all staff and consumers.

We are seeking “Expressions of Interest” from New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia

Following the two-day match there is a travel day when all participants will travel to be together in Christchurch for the IIMHL/IIDL Network Meeting.
