Join the conference “Healthy mind, stronger Europe”

On World Mental Health Day, 10 October, join us for the conference “Healthy mind, stronger Europe”, where we’ll put forward real, progressive solutions.
Despite growing awareness of its impact on all our lives, mental health has yet to gain the momentum it deserves in EU policymaking. The latest EU budget and Commission mandate still fall short on policy work on mental health that reflects progressive values - including gender mainstreaming.
Bringing together policymakers, practitioners, academics and civil society, this event presents the results of three expert groups that have been working on concrete recommendations.
