Mental Health Europe: Mental Health and the Environment
In recent years, evidence on the interplay between mental health and the environment has grown significantly. The COVID-19 crisis adds a more urgent need for policy and decision-makers to identify and implement win-win solutions to both challenges.
Mental Health Europe (MHE) is delighted to invite you to an online event about mental health and the environment, organised by the Coalition for Mental Health and Wellbeing in the European Parliament, the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) and MHE.
When? Wednesday, 27 January 2021, 10:30 – 12:00 CET
Where? Online, please register below to receive the link to the meeting.

The online event will bring together the European Parliament Coalition for Mental Health and Wellbeing and other interested MEPs, European Commission (including DG ENV, DG SANTE, DG RTD, DG REGIO), Member States’ permanent representations and relevant stakeholders from environment and health sectors.
