MENTALITY: Implementing MENTal Health QuALITY Practices

Prolepsis Institute takes part as a partner in the MENTALITY project for the implementation of MENTal Health QuALITY Practices. The project is carried out within the framework of EU4Health Programme (EU4H). The project started on January 2023 and will last for 26 months.

MENTALITY Consortium consists of eight partners from seven EU countries – Belgium, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia – and is coordinated by Mental Health Europe in Belgium.

While mental ill-health has come to the forefront of public debate during the COVID-19 crisis, it has already been considered one of the leading causes of disability in Europe. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, at least one in six people across EU Member States experienced mental ill-health. This, together with the fact that persisting stigma prevents people from disclosing their mental health problems, means that the numbers are now likely to be higher than before 2020. There is an immediate need to implement good practices to support positive mental health and well-being for all and to build resilience within the health and social care services.

MENTALITY will pilot established European promising practices targeted at children, healthcare and other care workers, people with pre-existing mental health problems and psychosocial disabilities, migrants, and service providers.

The overall goal of MENTALITY is to enable individuals, communities, and service providers to better respond to current and future mental health concerns and challenges. As a result, better support and promotion of positive mental health and well-being of all, including those who are in the most vulnerable situations is expected. Moreover, increased resilience within and outside the health and social care systems and services are also expected.
