Financial information

GAMIAN-Europe’s main and invaluable important resource consists of the personal and voluntary
engagement of its members. Furthermore, we receive unrestricted grants from a number of healthcare
companies. This cooperation is strictly in line with the EFPIA Code Of Practice On Relationships With Patient Organisations.

Who can join us

GAMIAN-Europe currently brings together a wide variety of organisations (local, regional and national) from almost all European countries. Any organisation, operating in the field of mental health who shares our objectives can become a member.

 

There are two types of membership:

  • full members are those organisations active in the mental health domain and that ensure active participation of patients in their board and within the activities of the organisation,
  • associate members are those organisations individuals with an interest in mental health
