WELL CARE presented at a EU Health Policy Platform webinar

On the 29th of October 2024, on the occasion of the International Day of Care and Support, building on the European Carers Day and World Mental Health Day, the webinar “Stepping up efforts across Europe to promote and protect the mental health of long-term care workers and informal carers: a win-win strategy” took place on the EU Health Policy Platform. Organised in the framework of the “Mental Health in all Policies” Stakeholders Network, led by Mental Health Europe, the webinar aimed to shed light on priorities and concrete actions to support the mental health of long-term care (LTC) workers and informal carers.

The webinar was open to all stakeholders and brought together 62 participants. Speakers included representatives from the European Commission and Trade-Union Uni Care Europa.

During this seminar, Elisabeth Hanson gave an overview of the Horizon 2020 WELL CARE project. She announced that the first policy report had just been launched. She invited the members of the audience to subscribe to the project Newsletter and to contact the dissemination partner  in case they wanted share good practices or to contribute their expertise to the next project activities.
