Overview

Join EHMA for World Mental Health Week to hear about the management of mental health services during COVID. With a focus on Serbia, we will discuss the impact on European mental health services caused by COVID.

With increasing reports of elevated rates of stress and anxiety across the community, and mental health and well-being of frontline workers also being compromised, Europe must see the management of mental health as a key part of the response to the COVID pandemic.
