JA Implemental

We are continuing with the second day of our final conference in Athens 🏛️🇬🇷

Our keynote speakers, Bernard Jacob and Sarah Morsink, representatives of FPS Public Health Belgium, have provided us with a unique opportunity to explore the inspiration behind the Belgian best practice and reflect on both where we are now and how far we have come. 🇧🇪

Today's presentations will showcase how JA ImpleMENTAL has contributed to mental health improvements across 11 European countries. We will also discuss the lessons learned throughout this process.

Additionally, parallel sessions will demonstrate how various countries have transformed and adapted existing mental health services. These sessions will showcase the enhancements made by focusing on multidisciplinary approaches and ensuring that services are evidence-based, efficient, and sustainable.
