On 23–24 October2025, EFPA participated in the in-person kick-off meeting of the EU-funded REMESOS – Resilient and Mentally Healthy Societies – project in Brussels. On the 24th, the meeting welcomed Hans Dubois who gave a brief presentation on the recent mental health work of Eurofound.
REMESOS aims to strengthen mental health across Europe through two core pillars: developing robust methods to measure population mental health and implementing community-based interventions such as Guided Functional Peer Support (GFP).
The three-year initiative, supported by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), brings together a consortium of 12 organisations from across Europe, spanning research, policy, practice, and civil society. EFPA will contribute to two Work Packages within the project, focusing on policy drafting and dissemination of materials.
