  4. You can use free text when searching for interesting calls. All you need to do is to enter a phrase in the text bar that EuroAccess is to look for in its database.

    When looking for a phrase in the free text bar, the system will perform an exact-match search. This means that it will search the database for the exact words, in their exact order. However, you can opt for two different approaches:

    1. You can use “AND”, in this way: One AND Two. EuroAccess will look in the database for the fields which records contain both One and Two, regardless of their order and their position in any sentence.

    2. You can use the “OR”, in this way: One OR Two. In this case, EuroAccess will search the database for fields that contain either the word One or the word Two. It will retrieve all the fields with one of these words or with both.

    However, you should prefer phrases or complex words over simple words in you text searches.

short description

This action is part of the Health promotion and disease prevention strand. This action supports the policy objective of promoting mental health and preventing and addressing mental health problems and disorders and implements the EU4Health Programme’s general objective of improving and fostering health in the Union (Article 3, point (a) of Regulation (EU) 2021/522) through the specific objectives defined in Article 4, points (a) and (i), of Regulation (EU) 2021/522. This action focuses on the prevention of NCDs in the area of mental health including actions supporting vulnerable population groups, such as migrants, refugees, Roma people and displaced people from Ukraine.

Call objectives

The aim of this action is to complement the implementation of the joint action “DP-g-23-32- 01 ‘Healthier Together’ EU NCD Initiative – Mental Health” led by the Member States, thus helping to promote mental health, and to reduce the burden of mental health problems in the Union, both at individual and population level, targeting or addressing the related risk factors and their determinants, as necessary.

Expected effects and impacts

The action will implement projects on health promotion and disease prevention, taking into account relevant results of Horizon 202017 and Horizon Europe projects, and is expected to support the Member States’ efforts to reduce the burden of NCDs (approximately 80% of the disease burden in Europe), in particular that related to mental health problems, and to reach the Sustainable Development Goal 3, in particular target 3.4.

The expected results will include initiatives to complement the Member States’ efforts in the design, planning and implementation of best practices, such as for the development of public health guidelines, supporting patient pathways, and support for the preparation and roll-out of new policy approaches, participation in the pilot testing of innovative practices, development of support actions such as training and improving health awareness and health literacy.

Expected results

The activities will cover the promotion of mental health and prevention and management of mental health problems, supporting in particular persons under vulnerable circumstances/vulnerable population groups (such as migrants, refugees, Roma people and displaced people from Ukraine). The activities will run in parallel to the joint action and will include the implementation of projects involving civil society organisations to support the Member States’ authorities in implementing comprehensive public health policies in the area of mental health, the development and transfer of best practices, the development of public health guidelines, the preparation and roll-out of innovative approaches and projects supporting patient pathways, and launching of targeted projects to support vulnerable groups including migrants, refugees, Roma people and displaced persons from Ukraine.

other eligibility criteria

Specific mandatory deliverables and/or milestones

The activities under this action shall support and complement the Member States’ efforts in developing and implementing a comprehensive and prevention-oriented approach to mental health.

The activities shall address vulnerable and socio-economically disadvantaged population groups whose mental health has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, including the elderly, young people, people with less secure employment, and people with less education or a lower income and particularly migrants, refugees, Roma people, displaced people from Ukraine as well as people still living in Ukraine.

Activities will also take into consideration socio-economic and environmental determinants as established risk factors for mental health and behavioural problems (e.g. poverty, unemployment, financial instability, a low educational level, violence, air pollution and climate crisis, homelessness, and social isolation).

The activities shall support the implementation of a comprehensive and prevention-oriented approach to mental health and support the actions in the Commission Communication on a comprehensive approach to mental health, including:

  • Promotion of good mental health and prevention of mental health problems through implementation of best and promising practices and approaches and implementable research results;
  • Design and implementation of a mental health in all policies coordinated approach between public authorities in multiple ministries and other relevant stakeholders;
  • Development of tools and approaches for mental health literacy and awareness-raising, early detection of those at risk for developing mental health problems within specific community settings, such as schools, elderly care centres, migrants/refugee centres and prisons, taking into account specific needs of the vulnerable groups of the population;
  • Improving access to evidence-based and innovative, promising and personalised approaches and interventions in the management of mental health problems, including improving community-based care and approaches, use of self-management tools and social prescribing for better outcomes;
  • Creating favourable conditions for patients, their families and (in)formal carers to improve their quality of life, with a focus on breaking through stigma. Reducing health inequalities in mental health within vulnerable groups should be addressed horizontally in all activities. To ensure a coherent approach and complementarity, it is key that this action builds on past and ongoing projects such as joint actions (e.g. JA ImpleMENTAL), relevant projects with WHO and OECD and stakeholders, and other EU funded initiatives on mental health.

This action shall support and complement the Member State’s efforts in addressing mental health challenges and in implementing a comprehensive approach to mental health, by doing at least one of the following activities:

  • Identification, collection, and sharing and adjustment and replication of best and promising practices on a comprehensive approach to mental health for vulnerable populations, and their roll-out for implementation through population-level health promotion interventions;
  • Development of public health guidelines or documents intended for use by specific professional groups working with vulnerable groups with a potential need to address mental health challenges (e.g. first aid providers, social care workers);
  • Identification, piloting and evaluation of innovative approaches to preventing and managing mental health problems in various community settings e.g. use of social prescribing (arts, sports etc.) and use of a community-based social franchising approach;
  • Development of guidelines and recommendations for actions, policies and programmes at national level catering to the specific needs of vulnerable populations e.g. suicide prevention programmes and programmes supporting the transition from youth to adult care;
  • Development of a code of good practice on how the people with ‘lived experience’ can be integrated in the development of mental health policies and programmes;
  • Development and implementation of awareness-raising activities with a focus on breaking down stigma on mental health (such as prevention of suicide and depression) with a focus on vulnerable groups;
  • Development, piloting and possible implementation of a methodology to ensure that mental health is integrated in relevant policies (Mental Health in All Policies approach)
