FundaMENTAL Health – Launch event
Experts and authors of the “FundaMENTAL Health” publication will discuss Europe’s current mental health crisis.
Experts and authors of the “FundaMENTAL Health” publication will discuss Europe’s current mental health crisis.
Europeans will not be healthy unless their mental life is taken seriously and services for its improvement are fully integrated into the whole system of state and society. Mental health cannot be an isolated island, it must be part of the design of the health system, education, urban planning, social security services, housing. Action to improve the mental health of Europeans must be implemented at every level, from local to national to the EU level, involving public authorities, NGOs, employers and workers. It is estimated that improving the quality of mental health care could save as many as one million European lives each year.
During the event, we will discuss with authors of the FundaMENTAL Health publication and experts on solutions to the current crisis in Europe, and we will look at innovative tools that try to answer the question of whether technology can help improve the mental health of Europeans.
