Join our Conference – Putting Mental Health at the Heart of Europe: Strengthening Preparedness for EU Polycrises 

Join us to explore and discuss how resilient mental health systems can address urgent polycrises like pandemics, wars, and climate disasters. We’ll discuss innovative pilot practices developed within the Mentality project framework that drive policy reform and bridge public health gaps, particularly for vulnerable populations, with insights into effective interventions and personal testimonies on their transformative impact.

The event will focus on scaling up best practices across the EU to address mental health and social inequities that disproportionately impact vulnerable communities during crises. By bringing together practitioners, policymakers, insurers, and investors, the conference aims to bolster Europe’s commitment to mental health resilience through strategic collaboration, investment, and policy innovation.

About Mentality

This event is organised in the framework of the MENTALITY project. MENTALITY pilots established European promising practices targeted at children, healthcare and other care workers, people with pre-existing mental health problems and psychosocial disabilities, migrants, and service providers.

The project establishes a path for successful and sustainable transfer and adaptation of practices in participating countries that will also lead to in-country upscale and further future implementation in other EU countries.
