Scoring the Belgian presidency’s work on mental health

Mental Health Europe has published its analysis of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU.

The Belgian Presidency helped keep mental health on the agenda. Mental Health Europe commends the work of the Belgian Presidency to include mental health as a cross-cutting consideration in their work and their ambition to a future where mental health is not just a consideration, but a cornerstone of a prosperous and inclusive European society. We are particularly pleased that a follow up to the Comprehensive Approach on Mental Health was mentioned as part of the reflection on the future of the European Pillar of Social Rights, and we call on future Presidencies to keep a mental health in all policies approach and to commit to address socioeconomic determinants.
