The webinar, "Mental health at the time of war in Ukraine: challenges and initiatives" provided a platform for a multinational discussion on the profound impact of the Ukrainian war on mental health. Featuring speakers from the Ukrainian National Psychological Association, mental health experts from neighbouring countries, and representatives of EU funded initiatives, the event highlighted both Ukrainian efforts and the collaborative support from other European countries to address the psychological toll of the conflict.
The event, organised in two sessions (8 and 19 November), aims to raise awareness among mental health professionals, policy makers, and the broader public about the ongoing initiatives to safeguard mental well-being in Ukraine and beyond. By exploring the significant contributions of psychology in crisis situations, attendees will gain insights into current practices and collaborative efforts to foster mental health protection.
This webinar is particularly relevant to mental health professionals, EU Health Policy Platform members, and those interested in mental health issues related to war and crisis, encouraging knowledge exchange and partnership across borders.
