Mental illness has been on the rise in Europe and around the world for decades. According to the OECD, every second person in their life will experience mental health problems and many will not receive the care they need.

On Friday, 13 May 2022, MEP Irena Joveva will attend an event entitled ‘Mental Health in Europe: Where do we stand? – Youth in spotlight’, where participants will talk about the challenges we face, try to identify how to prevent mental health problems, and discuss empowerment and active involvement of young people in deciding on their mental health.
