Join Mental Health Europe’s event ‘How Mentally Healthy Communities Can Make Us Thrive’

Last updated on Tuesday, 23/05/2023

To mark European Mental Health Week, Mental Health Europe, is holding a high-level hybrid Policy Event at the European Parliament 

Communities have a substantial role to play in people's mental health. They can offer a sense of belonging and meaning, yet they can also leave people out. In some cases, communities can raise barriers and foster exclusion, while in others they allow for people to thrive without stigma and discrimination. At home, at work or in schools: communities and environments around us can give or remove the support and skills that people need to flourish.

As mental health has become a topic of increasing interest in policymaking and with 2023 being the European Year of Skills, this event will focus on how communities can provide understanding, knowledge, skills, and support for people to take care of their mental health and cope with ups and downs over the lifetime. 

Mental Health Europe is organising a hybrid event entitled 'How Mentally Healthy Communities Can Make Us Thrive' which will take place on Wednesday the 24th of May between 10:00 - 12:00 CEST in the European Parliament - Room SPAAK 7C50 (and online).

This event will be co-hosted by MEP István Ujhelyi (S&D), MEP Soraya Rodriguez (Renew Europe) & MEP Stelios Kympouropoulos (EPP). 

Register and join us to discuss mental health in our communities, schools, workplaces, and at home so that everyone can thrive and flourish at every stage of life.
