Summary

Global volunteering provides an opportunity to learn, support and work with individuals, communities and colleagues around the world. It can be a hugely rewarding endeavour for all stakeholders if it is undertaken with adequate preparation, developed with host partners and is focused on sustainability. The principles and experiences outlined in this book have sought to provide you with an opportunity to approach the global volunteering placements in mental health with the necessary knowledge, confidence and humility. At the same time, it is important to recognise that much of this book considers how best to navigate the voluntary context as it is here and now. In this chapter, likely changes in the areas of global mental health are presented.
