The misunderstood challenges and how to respond

Racialised communities in Europe face higher barriers to mental health support and experience higher rates of mental health problems. This new report from Mental Health Europe explores racism and discrimination as determinants of mental health. It also provides concrete recommendations for Member States and the EU for an approach which combats discrimination and promotes equality.

The aim is to provide an outline of existing policy developments on the topic and to support the prevention of mental health problems and the promotion of good mental health.

Addressing (mental) health disparities requires a whole-society-approach. Therefore, this report is aimed at decision makers, professionals working with racialised communities and or mental health, students and those interested in the topic.

The report is also available in several other languages:

Bulgarian French German Hungarian  Italian Romanian Spanish
