New Report Release: Examining Policies & Support for Long-Term Care Providers’ Mental Health

We are excited to announce the release of “D4.1: Report on Analysis of Legislation, Policies, Care Frameworks and Funding Schemes” as part of the EU-funded WELL CARE Project. This report, developed under WP4, explores critical questions around long-term care (LTC) in Europe: How do policies and funding impact the mental health of LTC workers and informal carers? What is the role of long-term care in society? And why should we urgently prioritise the well-being of caregivers?

Key Insights from the Report:

  • A call for prioritising the mental health of both formal LTC workers and informal carers in Europe.
  • Actionable recommendations for policymakers on supporting mental health in LTC by addressing working conditions, risk factors, and socio-economic barriers.
  • The need for a balanced, accessible, and high-quality LTC system that values the contributions of both formal and informal carers.

The report emphasises that improved support for carers is essential for human rights, gender equality and resilient societies prepared for future challenges. The WELL CARE Project invites policymakers to leverage this resource and take decisive action to uplift and sustain those providing vital long-term care.
