MentBest

A new important research project on #mentalhealth funded by the @HorizonEU 2020 #research and #innovation programme mentbest.com/home/

"The aim is to decrease suicidal behaviour and to support people who suffer from depression to get the help that they need," Rainer Mere, psychologist and researcher at the Estonian-Swedish Mental Health and Suicidology Institute (ERSI) and #MENTBEST member said at the 7th Mental Health Dialogues. In #Estonia, #schools seemed the obvious place to start. They were already saturated. #Kindergartens? Immediate interest. Real dissemination means following where genuine interest is, not just where you expected it. #MentalHealth #MENTBEST #HorizonEurope #Dissemination

Research that doesn't reach the public is incomplete research; reducing stigma starts with how mental health is portrayed in the media. #MentalHealth #MENTBEST Read the article: mentbest.com/communications…
