Promotion and Prevention in Europe
Mental Health Europe (MHE), the organization which is also the European Regional Council of WFMH, serves as the European Union Liaison Office for Mental Health Promotion. Promotion and prevention are central to its mission and activities. During 2001 it completed a project on “Mental Health Promotion of Adolescents and Young People” within the framework of an EU program, and published a directory of relevant projects and initiatives in Europe. Under a contract signed with the European Commission toward the end of the year, it will now participate in a new large-scale project on “Mental Health Promotion and Prevention Strategies for Coping with Anxiety and Depression.” MHE is responsible for the policy coordination of the overall project, and also for the section dealing with adolescents and young people.
