ISW Eupora kindly invites you on our first e-mental health conference on February 6 in Mechelen. Don't forget to register!
Mental health is a common and growing economic, social and health challenge across Europe. Demand for mental health care outpaces provision. Increasingly, attention is focused on preventing mental health problems from developing and escalating, and empowering people to self-manage their mental health. Having accessible, timely and quality-assured support can be hard for people who are managing mental health problems at different stages of their life: while continuing their education, holding down a job, or parenting their family. Innovative and high quality e-mental health products and services can substantially contribute to ensuring that services are available, accessible, appropriate and affordable for all.
With 10 other project partners in North West Europe, ISW Eupora is one of the project partners of the eMEN project, made possible by Inttereg NWE. Our launch conference will look at how we can increase the uptake of e-mental health and reduce the levels of unmet needs within mental healthcare.
