Healing while Helping Across The Border
2025-05-25 12:00 - 13:00 (Europe/Paris)
Healing while Helping Across The Border is an open and welcoming online gathering for anyone who cares deeply—for others, for justice, for community—and is looking for a moment to care for themselves.
Whether you’re a student, social worker, teacher, healthcare provider, organizer, or simply someone who feels the emotional weight of the world, this space is for you. These individuals often face burnout, compassion fatigue, and second-hand trauma as a result of their work. ATB seeks to open up a crucial and often overlooked conversation: how do we care for ourselves while caring for others? How do we care for ourselves while caring for others? The session will bring together voices from the field to share strategies, stories, and practices for sustaining well-being in high-impact roles. Regardless of your background, origin, or profession, we invite you to join us in building a sense of connection, community, and belonging.
Led by a licensed therapist, the event will explore sustainable, long-term self-care strategies tailored to those who often put others first. We’ll reflect on shared experiences of burnout, compassion fatigue, and emotional overwhelm—and close with a gentle healing session designed to ground and restore.
Come as you are. Bring your story, your silence, your care.
✨ Let’s hold space for each other.

A tua Mente, os teus Direitos | Your Mind, Your Rights
2025-05-24 12:30 - 13:30
Taking place between 19th–25th of May 2025, “Your Mind, Your Rights” is a local initiative developed by Recovery Colleges Portugal in the context of the Eu Mental Health Week, aiming to raise awareness about the links between mental health and social rights. It seeks to promote a broader, rights-based understanding of mental health giving special emphasis to the social conditions that shape mental wellbeing.
The initiative includes a digital campaign (19–25 May), using impactful messages and personal reflections to highlight how social inequalities influence our mental health.
On the 24th May, the community is invited to join a 30-minute talk designed to be intergenerational and accessible to all. It will explore how systemic inequalities affect mental health and how communities can support change.
Throughout the day, an “interactive wellbeing tent” at the “FisicaMente” event (UF Carcavelos & Parede) will offer creative, engaging stations for all ages, as a stage for reflection about mental wellbeing, literacy and social rights.
We beieve this initiative aligns with EMHW 2025’s by advocating for mental health as a social and collective responsibility, not an individual issue.

Drugs, Rights, and Public Policy – Rethinking Substance Use and Mental Health Policy in Romania
2025-05-23 14:00 - 15:30
This panel hosted by Choice brings together professionals from Psychology, Criminology, Public policy, and lived experience, as well as a Member of Parliament with a background in civil society, to discuss how drug policy in Romania affects mental health and human rights. The conversation aims to move beyond punitive narratives, focusing instead on structural issues such as access to care, prevention, social stigma, and reintegration.

From Digital Strain to Digital Strength: Rethinking Burnout Prevention in Healthcare
2025-05-23 12:30 - 13:00
Burnout among healthcare professionals has reached critical levels across Europe, driven by chronic workplace stress, heavy workloads, and systemic challenges that undermine wellbeing. As health systems struggle to retain and support their workforce, the question of how to effectively prevent burnout has never been more urgent.
This timely webinar, hosted by EPHA during European Mental Health Week, will bring together the Chair and Co-Chairs of Working Group 4 (WG4) of the Strategic Partners’ Initiative for Data and Digital Health, led by WHO/Europe. The session will explore the complex drivers behind burnout in healthcare and highlight why addressing it requires a systemic, multi-level response.
The discussion will focus in particular on the double-edged role of digital technologies: while digital tools can contribute to stress when poorly implemented, they also hold great potential as part of the solution. Speakers will present WG4’s latest work on how responsible, data-driven, and workforce-centered digital innovation can help identify early warning signs, reduce administrative burden, and foster healthier work environments.
Join EPHA to explore how we can move from digital strain to digital strength, and create sustainable, supportive systems for the people who care for us.

Mental Health as a Public and Legal Concern. Beyond the Clinical Gaze. Who Cares?
2025-05-23 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
This presentation will critically explore the concept of mental health and its implications for law and policy. It will begin by examining how “mental health” is commonly understood, often being conflated with mental illness, and would trace a paradigm shift from a narrow, medicalised perspective to one that emphasises prevention and the recognition of structural determinants. Central to this shift are the ICESCR, which underscores mental health as an essential dimension of the right to health, and the CRC, which promotes a pervasive preventive approach to mental health. The CRPD further advances this shift by focusing, among other things, on the right to prevent mental health deterioration.
Given the shortcomings of current national mental health systems, which struggle to meet the increasing demand for mental health services, and the political guidelines set by EC President von der Leyen for 2024 to 2029, which emphasise the urgent need for preventive mental health strategies and propose a new Action Plan on the European Pillar of Social Rights, the presentation would advocate for a comprehensive, rights-based framework. This framework moves away from reactive systems based on treatment and control towards one that promotes prevention by addressing the social determinants of mental health, in order to create a more social Europe and an environment that supports mental health for all”

Voices from the Ground: Investing in Social Support for Mental Wellness
2025-05-22 15:00 - 17:00
“Voices from the Ground: Investing in Social Support for Mental Wellness” is a hybrid panel discussion organized by Afya Care Foundation during the European Mental Health Week 2025, under the theme “Care for mental health, invest in social rights.” This event seeks to highlight the importance of grassroots efforts and social support systems in promoting mental well-being, especially in underserved communities across Eastern Africa.
Drawing from firsthand experiences, the event will bring together mental health practitioners, community workers, youth advocates, and individuals with lived experience to explore how investing in social rights—such as access to education, housing, healthcare, and protection from discrimination—directly impacts mental health outcomes. Panelists will share practical examples of community-led initiatives, such as school outreach programs, mental health awareness campaigns, and psychosocial support for marginalized groups.
The discussion aims to amplify local voices, encourage international collaboration, and showcase scalable models of care that bridge the gap between policy and practice. Participants will also engage in dialogue around systemic challenges such as stigma, poverty, and limited access to services, with a focus on sustainable solutions.
Ultimately, the event aspires to inspire inclusive investment in mental health that centers on dignity, equity, and social justice—aligning perfectly with the goals of EMHW 2025.

Brilliant but Burned Out. Mental Health, Precarity, and the Future of Research
2025-05-22 14:00 - 15:30 | Online
Mental health among early-career researchers is a growing concern. Numerous studies show that PhD candidates are at high risk of developing issues such as depression, anxiety, and burnout (e.g., Mattijssen et al., 2021). Common causes include excessive workload, high expectations, lack of work-life balance, and deep uncertainty about the future (Levecque, 2018). Despite growing awareness, practical prevention strategies and structural support remain limited (Satinsky et al., 2021).
Although research and innovation are essential to societal progress, the role of the researcher remains deeply precarious. Many projects lack stable funding, and budget cuts in research and development undermine the sovereignty and independence of academic work. Researchers face pressure from the “publish or perish” culture, limited career prospects, high mobility demands, and systemic undervaluation of their contributions — all contributing to psychological distress.
This presentation aims to:
1) Raise mental health awareness among PhD students, researchers, and higher education leaders;
2) Reflect on the working conditions in academia, including job insecurity, lack of funding, and performance pressures;
3) Encourage discussion about shared responsibility and identify actions that policymakers, institutions, and researchers themselves can take to improve working conditions and well-being.
In line with the EMHW 2025 theme “Care for mental health, invest in social rights,” this session highlights how fair employment, recognition, and stable conditions are essential for protecting researchers’ mental health and sustaining the future of academic work.

Effective Burnout Prevention Solutions for Mental Health at Work
2025-05-22 13:00 - 14:00
This webinar explores burnout as a systemic issue rooted in the way work is structured —rather than a personal failure to cope. Led by a burnout prevention specialist with lived experience of workplace burnout, the session will spotlight how employment conditions —such as long hours, job insecurity, toxic cultures, and inequality —deeply affect mental health.
Through a mix of expert insight and real-life storytelling, the event will highlight the urgent need to shift from individual-focused solutions (like self-care or resilience training) to structural interventions that uphold mental health as a social right.
It will explore how employers, unions, and policymakers can collaborate to implement systemic changes such as healthy work boundaries, psychological safety policies, and protections through collective agreements.
Aligned with the EMHW 2025 theme “Care for mental health, invest in social rights,” the webinar calls for a broader understanding of burnout that addresses its social and economic roots. It advocates for employment policies that promote mental wellbeing —particularly for vulnerable groups working in precarious or under-resourced environments.
The goal is to inspire a new narrative: one where workplace mental health is not treated as a personal burden, but as a collective responsibility requiring bold, systemic action.

The Power of Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Mental Health Services: lessons learned from the European Programme for Mental Health Exchange
2025-05-22 10:00 - 11:30
Mental health does not exist in isolation – it is shaped by social conditions such as poverty, inequality, employment, and education. The EU-PROMENS Project, funded by the EU4Health programme, is an initiative aimed at strengthening the capacity of health professionals across Europe in the field of mental health to deal with those challenges through promotion of multidisciplinary approach. The project focuses on multidisciplinary training and knowledge exchange, ensuring that professionals – from healthcare providers to educators and social workers – are equipped with the skills needed to address mental health challenges in diverse community settings. By implementing an exchange programme involving 27 EU Member States, Norway, and Iceland, EU-PROMENS fosters collaboration between sectors, reinforcing the importance of mental health in all policies.
This webinar will explore how multidisciplinary collaboration can address societal systemic challenges, ensuring that mental health services are inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the broader social determinants of well-being. Experts, project partners and participants will share insights from the ongoing Exchange in 6 hubs (Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Netherlands and Spain), showcasing strategies that foster cross-sector cooperation among healthcare providers, educators, policymakers, and social service organizations. The exchanges will continue over the next year and dates will be announced in the webinar and on EU-PROMENS newsletters.
As part of European Mental Health Week, this discussion reinforces the call to invest in social rights and build a stronger, more resilient European society and networks where mental health is protected and promoted through fair policies and inclusive support systems. By integrating mental health into broader social policies, and implementing multidisciplinary approach, we can shift the narrative from an individual-focused approach to one that tackles the root causes of poor mental health.

"Reaching Beyond Rare: Strengthening Mental Health and Wellbeing in Rare Disease Advocacy" Satellite Workshop to EURORDIS Membership Meeting
2025-05-22
On 22 May 2025 in Riga, EURORDIS and Rareminds will host a peer training workshop titled “Reaching Beyond Rare: Strengthening Mental Health and Wellbeing in Rare Disease Advocacy”, aligning with this year’s European Mental Health Week theme: Care for mental health, invest in social rights.
People with rare and undiagnosed conditions often experience stigma, isolation, and unequal access to mental health support—issues deeply rooted in broader social and structural inequalities. This workshop recognises that promoting mental health also means addressing these social determinants and empowering communities through peer-led support and inclusion.
The event will launch the EURORDIS Mental Health Toolkit – Reaching Beyond Rare, which offers practical strategies to strengthen mental wellbeing across rare disease communities. Through interactive breakout sessions, participants will explore ways to build resilience, enhance peer support, and foster self-awareness.
A key focus will be on understanding the effects of social exclusion and gathering good practices that promote participation in society and independent living. These collective insights will help inform future advocacy efforts and support policy recommendations that prioritise mental health and social rights for all.

Making Mental Health Visible: Data as a Tool for Rights
2025-05-21 11:00 - 12:30 | Online
Equitable societies invest in mental health.
Our dashboards will give an idea of where we stand and where we can improve.
Mental health is shaped by poverty, unemployment, inequality, and the strength of our social protections. Yet across Europe, these realities are often invisible — and mental health remains underfunded.

As part of EU Mental Health Week, we are launching two new dashboards — designed for ongoing updates to reflect Europe’s evolving mental health landscape:
One mapping the prevalence of mental health conditions and the stigma.
One tracking policy action, including investment, service integration, and workforce capacity.

These tools offer a vital starting point — but they also reveal a critical gap: we urgently need more and more current data to drive real, rights-based change.
Without better data, there can be no true investment in mental health — and no resilient, just and inclusive society
Join us to explore the evidence, hear from key voices, and call for mental health to be recognised and protected as a fundamental social right.
Together, let’s turn data into rights — and rights into reality.

Unleashing the Power of Multidisciplinary Collaboration for Better Mental Health: lessons learned from exploring and implementing cross-sectoral mental health competency framework
2025-05-20 09:30 - 11:00 | Online
Mental health does not exist in isolation – it is shaped by social conditions such as poverty, inequality, employment, and education. The EU-PROMENS Project, funded by the EU4Health programme, is an initiative aimed at strengthening the capacity of health professionals across Europe in the field of mental health to deal with those challenges through promotion of multidisciplinary approach. The project focuses on multidisciplinary training and knowledge exchange, ensuring that professionals – from healthcare providers to educators and social workers – are equipped with the skills needed to address mental health challenges in diverse community settings. By implementing an exchange programme involving 27 EU Member States, Norway, and Iceland, EU-PROMENS fosters collaboration between sectors, reinforcing the importance of mental health in all policies.
Experts will present the development and implementation of a cross-sectoral mental health competency framework designed to strengthen collaboration between healthcare, social services, education, and justice sectors; ensure professionals are equipped with the necessary skills to address mental health holistically; improve accessibility and quality of care through interdisciplinary training and knowledge exchange.
Mental health services often operate in silos, leading to gaps in care and missed opportunities for intervention. This webinar explores how breaking down these barriers through competency-based approaches can promote mental health equity by integrating care across multiple domains; empower practitioners with shared best practices and resources; shape policy recommendations that embed mental health into broader social rights frameworks.
By leveraging insights from EU-PROMENS Project, this event will serve as one more input to the structural reforms, demonstrating how competency frameworks can be instrumental in improving mental health systems across Europe.

Mental Health and Homelesness: a vicious cycle of powerlessness
2025-05-19 10:00 - 11:30
Mental health is a fundamental human right – essential to well-being, community participation, and the ability to live with dignity. Yet, for people experiencing homelessness, this right is too often denied. During this European Mental Health Week 2025, our session will explore the powerful, often invisible connections between homelessness and mental health problems, highlighting how structural inequalities, unmet needs, and social exclusion create a vicious cycle of powerlessness and marginalisation.
Drawing on international data and practical examples, we will unpack the cascading effects of homelessness on mental health – including increased risks of untreated psychiatric conditions, cognitive impairments, and substance use – as well as the systemic barriers that hinder access to care. These include bureaucratic obstacles, lack of outreach, fragmented services, and negative attitudes from professionals.
This event invites participants to reflect on the urgent need for inclusive, rights-based mental health systems that do not leave the most vulnerable behind. Together, we will ask: How can we transform mental health care to not only help people survive, but enable them to truly live? And what actions are needed – in policy, practice, and public attitudes – to uphold mental health as a social right for all?

Mental Health Europe is hosting the 5th edition of the European Mental Health Week between 13-19 May 2024, under the theme “Better Together: Co-creating the Future of Mental Health”.
According to the last Eurobarometer survey, 89% of European citizens consider mental health as important as physical health. Co-creation is a collaborative approach involving all
actors in mental health working together on an equal basis to develop and implement policies, services, programmes, and communication that foster positive mental health according to a psychosocial model and human rights-based approach.
Mental Health Europe calls for co-creation as a path of transformation, moving away from systems where non-participation and tokenism are the norms, towards one which is based on collaboration, partnership, and true understanding of needs. Co-creation – applied in policies, practices, research and communication- has the potential to bring us closer to our vision of societies that promote positive mental health for all, intervene early when problems develop, and provides accessible, comprehensive and community-based mental health services for those who need them. Therefore, if we want to have an EU that acts for what matters to those residing in Europe, it is essential to co-create the future together and go to vote, to ensure we have a say in the building the society we want. This year’s EMHW is in line with the EU Elections, which will be taking place in June 2024. As part of the week, we will be organising an LinkedIn event focusing on mental health and co-creation in view of the upcoming European elections in 2024.

Shared Experience and Local Mental Health Systems
2024-05-16 17:00 - 18:00
ONLINE
The SE&LMHS project assumes that mental health is not only a matter for special services but should include the whole local community. Several activities beneficial for mental health can be created by working together in the community in peer-to-peer contexts through direct relationships between professionals, service users, carers, the third sector and representatives of the local community. These activities can be very different and can vary according to the local contexts. They have nothing to do with diagnostic systems and are not an extension of services.
Mental health services should not only follow the clinical approach currently dominated by the biomedical model and DSM/ICD nosographic categories. This approach, useful in specific and limited circumstances, risks instead damaging/colonizing the communities themselves by stripping them of their natural resilience mechanisms, when extended inappropriately out of context. Services should also be open to the social and cultural perspectives of the communities in which they operate and should play an important role in promoting collaborative activities with all key stakeholders present in those same communities. The roots of the project are based in Florence and Prato (Italy); in a context where psychiatric hospitals were being closed and the local community was becoming one of the main players in mental health. A transition from the clinical to the community environment has been – and continues to be – most important to organize better services and better communities. The Watford experience will be presented as a development of the original Italian project in the British context.
