To mark World Mental Health Day on 10 October 2023, the European Commission held a half-day, high-level conference in Brussels, Belgium, hosted by Stella Kyriakides, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety. The event brought together hundreds of representatives from the EU institutions, national governments, international organisations and other interested stakeholders to raise awareness of the work undertaken, and supported by, the European Commission. In particular, the European Commission highlighted its “comprehensive approach to mental health” which was published this year.
Additionally, the conference heard from from experts and people with lived experience, as well as providing an opportunity for the exchange of good practices linked to:
• Mental health across all policies
• Promotion and prevention
• Equal access for all.
