European Mental Health Week, 13-19 May 2024

ERN ReCONNET strongly believes in the importance of Mental Health for all persons.
Due to that, this year for the first time, ERN ReCONNET decided to join the social media campaign and raise awareness on this crucial aspect of our health that impacts our quality of life.

The Network embraces and shares the same vision, mission, and values highlighted by Mental Health Europe, so…Better Together!

Mental Health Europe is the main independent European non-governmental network organisation committed to the protection of the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities, the promotion of positive mental health, the prevention of mental distress, and the improvement of mental health care and social inclusion.

Mental Health Europe launched its current strategy on 14 October 2021 outlining some of the most urgent mental health priorities including tackling discrimination and securing equal access to services. Mental Health Europe has consistently positioned itself as a key actor working towards the implementation of human rights principles and obligations in mental health.

Mission: To lead in advancing a human rights, community-based, recovery-oriented and psychosocial approach to mental health and well-being for all.
