In 2024, ISPS member donations raised over $3,000 to finance bursaries that covered the delegate fees for low income participants to take part in the ISPS International conference in Helsinki.
Can you donate today to help us reach our new target of $4,000?
Raising this amount would enable us to cover the registration fees for ISPS Lausanne 2026 for 10 people who would otherwise be unable to participate in the conference.
This fund is to support - in particular - the participation of people with lived experience, their family members, students, and/or people living in developing countries.
Information about how to apply for a bursary you find here soon.
We aim to raise $4,000 by 15th February 2026
"There is now the opportunity to demonstrate in a very tangible way your support and commitment to Lived Experience and family involvement. Through your generosity by contributing to the fund you are making a clear statement that Lived Experience and Family are not only valued but an essential component to the advancement of Mental Well-being by providing a mechanism that ensures their voices are heard and no longer silenced."

"After my son was diagnosed, hospitalized and medicated I knew I wanted more for him than the “meds/beds” my sister endured for decades! ISPS was the light in my darkness and I hope every family member has the opportunity to attend an ISPS conference!"
