Best and promising practices on mental health

An online marketplace took place on 11-13 March 2024 to showcase the best and promising practices for mental health. During the virtual event, practice owners presented their action to EU Member State representatives, who may be interested to transfer them for use in their respective countries. The call for practices was launched in July 2023, following the adoption of Communication on a comprehensive approach to mental health. 29 practices were assessed either as best or as promising, against the criteria adopted by the Member States. These practices are also available on the European Commission’s Best Practices Portal.

These practices are also available on the European Commission’s Best Practices Portal.
