SUMMARY:Project Common Ground (Greek)
DESCRIPTION:In alignment with the European theme\, “Europe is Stronger Together: Prioritise Mental Health in a Changing Europe\,” our Model School is to launch “Project: Common Ground”. This initiative recognizes that while the social and digital landscapes of Europe evolve\, our shared need for mental resilience remains the universal foundation upon which we build our future\, especially in Greece where migration has been under the spotlight for a long time. \nThe programme is designed to bridge the gap between academic excellence and emotional well-being through a multi-dimensional approach: \nPsychoeducation & Seminars: Multidisciplinary sessions offered by the school psychologist and health visitor\, providing students with the guidance and practical tools. \nTackling Stereotypes: Interactive workshops aimed at dismantling stigma and fostering a school culture rooted in empathy and inclusion. \nArt Exhibition: A creative showcase where students “visualize the invisible\,” using artistic expression to communicate their inner worlds and shared experiences. \nSocial Media Campaign: A digital movement designed for authenticity and positive mental health advocacy. \nBy establishing this “Common Ground\,” we aim to demonstrate that vulnerability and difference is not a weakness\, but a catalyst for collective strength. We are moving beyond the classroom to build a community where every student feels seen\, heard\, and supported\, and differences are celebrated. \nSocial Media Links \n\n– https://projectcommonground.wordpress.com/\n– www.instagram.com/project.common.ground.greece/\n– www.linkedin.com/company/project-common-ground/\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:MINDCARE Unmuted - Breaking the Silence on Mental Health in Romania (Romanian)
DESCRIPTION:MINDCARE Unmuted is a week-long programme by MINDCARE FOR ALL\, built around our report “Radiography of Mental Health in Romania” (mindcareforall.com/en/blog/the-radiography-of-mental-health-in-romania/) — an evidence-based analysis drawing on Eurobarometer 530 data (European Commission\, 2023). The report examines the state of mental health across demographic groups\, access to psychological and psychiatric services\, social stigma\, and policy recommendations grounded in scientific data. Key findings reveal a significant treatment gap: 42% of Romanians reported mental health difficulties in the past years\, yet over 60% did not seek professional support\, with high costs\, fear of judgment\, and distrust in services as the primary barriers. In response\, MINDCARE FOR ALL proposes a five-pillar action model covering national strategy\, governance\, anti-stigma action\, prevention\, and access to services. All events are organised in partnership with the Laboratory of Clinical Cognitive Sciences (https://www.laboratorstiintecognitiveclinice.ro/en/). \nThe week opens with an online event presenting the Radiography’s key findings — a data-driven portrait of how Romania is really doing. On Tuesday\, an in-person roundtable in Bucharest brings together policymakers\, practitioners\, and civil society to translate that evidence into policy action. Wednesday’s online event turns to the digital world\, exploring how digital transformation is reshaping mental health across Europe. Thursday brings young people together in Cluj-Napoca for a hands-on workshop on emotional regulation and mental self-care. The week closes on Friday with a panel of researchers\, practitioners\, and people with lived experience\, reflecting on what the data means for real lives. All online events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Culture and Health Online Webinar Scaling up Arts on Prescription Models: From Evidence to Regional Implementation
DESCRIPTION:The webinar “Scaling up Arts on Prescription Models: From Evidence to Regional Implementation” will explore how culture-based interventions can be integrated into health systems across Europe\, with a specific focus on mental health and wellbeing. \nThe first part of the session will provide an overview of Arts on Prescription (AoP) models\, drawing on recent developments in countries such as Greece\, the Baltic Sea region and the United Kingdom. Contributions from research and institutional actors\, including inputs from WHO\, will present the current evidence base\, including findings from large-scale studies and emerging policy frameworks. This segment will set the context by outlining how AoP initiatives contribute to mental health promotion and how they can be scaled within different health system settings. \nThe second part of the webinar will focus on implementation at regional and local level. Through a guided discussion\, regional and local health authorities will reflect on how they are integrating Arts on Prescription into policy and practice. Key questions will address governance\, financing\, cross-sector collaboration\, and strategies to ensure long-term sustainability and territorial uptake. Concrete examples from different European regions will illustrate how policy actions are being developed and operationalised in practice. \nOverall\, the event aims to foster exchange between sectors\, support mutual learning\, and identify actionable pathways for embedding Arts on Prescription within health systems across Europe. \n  \nhttps://www.instagram.com/eu.regha/ \nhttps://it.linkedin.com/company/euregha \nhttps://www.facebook.com/EUREGHA/

SUMMARY:Improving the mental health of informal carers and professional carers through care partnerships: insights from the WELL CARE project.
DESCRIPTION:Caring for someone can be mentally draining and exhausting. Both informal carers -who provide unpaid care to a loved one outside a formal framework- and professional long-term care (LTC) workers face an increased risk of compromised mental health over time. \nThe WELL CARE project (2024–2027) aims to guide investment in carers’ mental health and wellbeing by identifying\, evaluating and promoting good practices across Europe. It also examines structural factors and develops policy recommendations. The project explores which practices and policies directly improve mental health\, as well as those that prevent or mitigate occupational and non-occupational risks. \nWELL CARE is grounded in the assumption that integrated care and care partnerships can help reduce these risks\, making it particularly relevant to the theme of Mental Health Week\, “Stronger Together”. \nWe will present key findings from a recently finalised report featuring 10 in-depth case studies across five European countries. These practices were selected through extensive mapping and stakeholder engagement\, including professionals\, users and informal carers. The report highlights their potential in terms of care partnerships\, sustainability and transferability. \nWe will also showcase two innovative examples: Community Circles in the Netherlands and E-Qalin in Slovenia\, illustrating community-based and quality assurance approaches.\nThe webinar will be facilitated by Prof. Elisabeth Hanson\, main investigator\, with the aim to engage informal carers\, LTC professionals and organisations active in the care sector in a meaningful exchange. \nRegister Now\n  \nLINKS \nhttps://wellcare-project.eu/

SUMMARY:Mental Health Literacy for Higher Education Teachers
DESCRIPTION:This session explores mental health literacy and how it can support both students and educators in higher education settings. It will focus on helping teaching staff recognise early signs of distress\, understand key factors affecting mental health\, and respond with empathy and appropriate support. \nRather than turning educators into mental health professionals\, the session aims to provide practical\, first-line skills — including creating safe and inclusive learning environments\, communicating effectively\, and knowing when and how to refer students to specialised services. \nThe session will also highlight the importance of supporting educators’ own mental well-being\, promoting healthier and more supportive academic environments for all. \n  \nhttps://www.ipiaget.org/ \nhttps://www.instagram.com/ipiaget/
