Margot and Harald Walter Azmann
CEO’s of World Mental Health Forum
Margot and Harald Walter Azmann are co-founders of the World Mental Health Forum, dedicated to reshaping how societies understand, govern, and respond to psychological distress. Their work centres lived experience, human rights, and trauma-aware practice as essential foundations for meaningful mental health reform.
Grounded in decades of advocacy across mental health, social justice, and international policy, Margot and Harald bring a survivor-informed, systems-level perspective to a field too often constrained by narrow biomedical models. Through the World Mental Health Forum, they convene policymakers, practitioners, activists, researchers, and people with lived experience on equal footing, creating spaces where mental health is addressed as a social, ethical, and political issue, not merely a clinical one.
Margot and Harald continue to shape international conversations on mental health by insisting on compassion with accountability, care with justice, and policy grounded in lived human reality.
