Instagram Live with EPSA & SIRIUS: Mental Health in Education

Mental Health Europe (MHE) is hosting the 4th edition of the European Mental Health Week on 22-28 May 2023 under the banner ‘mentally healthy communities’ to focus on improving the understanding and learning about mental health in our communities, schools, workplaces, and at home so that everyone can thrive and flourish at every stage of life.   

As part of the week, MHE is organising an Instagram Live event focusing on mental health in education and its communities with European Pharmaceutical Student’s Association (EPSA) and the Sirius Policy Network on Migration.

Description 

It is well understood that there is an urgent need to address the chronic under-investment in mental health and mental health education.  At least one in six people (84 million) across the EU has mental ill-health. Yet, on average, countries spend less than 2% of their national health budgets on mental health.  Together with EPSA and the Sirius Network, MHE will explore the connections between mental health and education, the importance of investing in mental health, how integration in communities can help students and learners, and how health care proffesionals can help care for student wellbeing. We will also discuss the work that EPSA, the Sirus Network and MHE do to improve mental health in education.
