How EU funding can promote community-based mental health services, European Parliament, 11 July

Mental Health Europe (MHE) is set to present a series of policy recommendations at an event in the European Parliament later this month.

 

The event – entitled How EU funding can promote community based mental health services – will see MEPs, experts and the public come together to discuss MHE’s Mapping and Understanding Exclusion report.

 

Mapping and Understanding Exclusion plots institutional, coercive and community-based mental health services and practices in 36 European countries. It includes exclusive data and testimonies about mental health systems, ongoing human rights violations and the changes on the horizon.
