Project Information

Following the EU Communication on a Comprehensive Approach to mental health, MENTOR contributes to reduce the burden of mental ill-health and promote good mental health and well-being, planning activities addressed both to the general population and to people suffering from mental issues to have an impact at the policy and practice level in Europe in several ways. Thus, MENTOR aims at promoting mental health by sharing experiences from the political to the clinical professional sphere, incorporating evidence-based best practices and adapting initiatives to achieve long-term sustainability of promoting mental health and well-being both at personal and population level. MENTOR works at addressing needs like equitable access to care for people with mental health conditions, reduction of stigma, recovery and inclusion by implementing shared guidelines for consideration of mental health in all policies, identifying evidence based guidelines for promotion and prevention interventions targeted to young people and vulnerable groups in general population, supporting recovery-oriented and inclusive practice in the care of people with a mental health condition, and implementing personalized and comprehensive approaches to mental health. MENTOR will deliver specific activities focused on people in need (displaced citizens from Ukraine, PLE, youths with adverse living conditions), for instance developing the methodologic frame and standard for inclusive mental health policy and then creating best practise examples in different communities, the activities is planned to be wide spectrum from seminars and lectures which are taking place in real life setting in community to PLE training groups and digital solutions. In response to the urgent need to validate ethical, effective, safe, sustainable, trustworthy digital tools, MENTORS aims to endorse a set of standards for monitoring mental health and wellbeing and implement preventative and promotion actions by digital solutions. MENTOR is fully aligned with and complements public health strategies as well as other on-going investments and capacity building initiatives. Planned activities have potential to exert a substantial impact and results are efficiency oriented on several key mental health issues across member states and should attract interest from many countries as mental health is a priority in global action scope.
