EUFAMI

🌱🫂Families are at the heart of mental health support, care, and recovery. On the International Day of Families, we recognise the millions of family members across Europe whose care, advocacy, and resilience too often go unseen. Their voices must be included in policy and care.

May marks #MentalHealthAwareness Month. At @EUFAMI, we recognise and honour the vital contribution of families and caregivers in supporting loved ones experiencing mental ill health every day. Their support, advocacy, and care deserve continuous recognition and inclusion.

Today is World Infant, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Day #WICAMHD. 1 in 8 young people in the EU are living with mental health conditions. Yet, many go unheard and unsupported. Family support is critical to resilience, wellbeing, and recovery. Support today, and everyday!

''Mijn partner veranderde door psychische problemen. Anderen begrijpen niet dat ik blijf, maar ik hou van haar. Tijdens een gespreksbijeenkomst voel ik me begrepen.'' - Tom. Kom 18 april naar onze bijeenkomst voor (ex-)partners in Utrecht. 🗓️🕜 Aanmelden: ypsilon.org/webshop/bijeen…

Affiliate stigma affects families of those with mental illness, causing shame, guilt, and silence. It weakens support systems and delays care. 🫂 By listening, raising awareness, and empowering carers, we can reduce stigma and ensure their voices are heard and valued.

"Hay que visibilizar la depresión postparto y atenderla. El estigma, al juntarse con la #maternidad y esas ideas de lo que debe ser una buena madre, aumenta y hace más difícil que las mujeres lo cuenten y se les ofrezca ayuda" @Diana_Oliver en @eldiarioes eldiario.es/sociedad/deber…

🧠#WorldHealthDay 2026 "Science transforms uncertainty into understanding and reveals the pathways to protect and heal our communities." — Dr Sylvie Briand, @WHO Chief Scientist. At @EBRAINS_eu, that's what we work towards every day, giving researchers the #tools to share data, collaborate across borders, and turn neuroscience into real advances in #BrainHealth. Stand with science. Together. 🔗 ebrains.eu

🌟 Register for our webinar “Stress Management within Higher Emotional Labor Demands – Resilience and Peer Support,” taking place on Tuesday, 28 April 2026, from 16:30 to 18:00 CEST! ✍️ Sign up today: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… 📑 The key learning objectives of this webinar are: ·      Identify key neuroscientific stress pathways (LC-NE, HPA) and their roles in appraisal, regulation, and maladaptation. ·      Interpret common stress biomarkers (cortisol, inflammatory markers) and explain how resilience moderates their associations. ·      Apply a multilevel, time-dynamic framework to differentiate resilience trajectories, including post-traumatic growth/emergent functioning.

🌐Today's World Health Day is a reminder we stand by every year: There is no health without mental health. 🧪We believe in this year's theme recognising evidence, research, and progress as essential to improving mental healthcare and support. #WorldHealthDay #StandWithScience

💛Every festive season reminds us: this time isn’t the same for everyone. Alongside celebrations can come pressure, loneliness, financial stress, or difficult family dynamics. 🌿Protect your energy. 🌿Set boundaries. 🌿You’re not alone.
