What Federación Salud Mental Madrid does

Federación Salud Mental Madrid (legal name: Unión Madrileña de Asociaciones de Personas Pro Salud Mental – UMASAM) is a non-profit federation founded in 2013 that coordinates 16 member associations of people with mental health problems and their families across the Community of Madrid, Spain. The organization delivers a portfolio of social and advocacy services free of charge to beneficiaries, centered on the Servicio de Información y Orientación (SIO) for guidance on social resources and benefits, the Oficina de la Defensa de Derechos providing legal advocacy, the ¿QUEDAMOS? leisure and sports program, family psychoeducation through member associations, corporate sensitization for employers, and the Planificacion Anticipada de Decisiones (PAD) initiative on legal protection planning.

The federation runs recurring programming including the annual Ciclo de Conferencias (now in its 10th edition), the annual Premios UMASAM creativity awards (11th edition in 2026), and World Mental Health Day commemorations. Its technology footprint is limited to a website (saludmentalmadrid.org), an RSS feed, and standard social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr); there is no proprietary software, app, or AI/ML component. All services are human-delivered through community programs, direct support, and member-association networks.

Revenue is generated through a diversified non-profit model comprising direct donations, public grants and subsidies from the Comunidad de Madrid and Ayuntamiento de Madrid, and the X Solidaria tax-assignment campaign coordinated with Plataforma de ONG de Acción Social (checkbox 106). UMASAM has been declared an Entity of Public Utility by Spain's Ministry of the Interior (2019) and an Entity of Municipal Public Interest by the Madrid City Council (2024). The organization is affiliated with Confederación Salud Mental España and CERMI Comunidad de Madrid and is collectively governed by its member associations under the leadership of President Olga Real Najarro and Technical Director Adriana Sanclemente Gámez.
