Stronger Together: Prioritise Mental Health in a Changing Europe

European Mental Health Week 2026

“Stronger Together: Prioritise Mental Health in a Changing Europe.”

We’re living through profound change — digitalisation, widening inequalities, pressure on young people, democratic backsliding, climate anxiety, and uneven access to mental health support.

This campaign deliberately shifts away from a crisis-only narrative. Instead, it focuses on hope, connection, and collective resilience.

Our message is simple:

mental health is shaped by our environments — and we are stronger when we respond together, through community, solidarity, and inclusive policies.

About EMHW

The European Mental Health Week builds on the long-standing global tradition of celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month in May, and is being held for the seventh time in 2026.

It is a chance for everyone to exchange about all aspects of mental health, and highlight the need for action.
