    Main EU files targeted

    The MEP Alliance for Mental Health (founded in 2009 as the European Parliament Interest Group on Mental Health, Wellbeing and Brain Disorders) aims to unite MEPs and relevant stakeholders to advocate for the development of robust EU policies that contribute to the prevention of mental ill health and ensure suitable and high-quality services and person-centred care, empowering those affected. The Group convenes 2-3 times annually; these gatherings offer a chance to highlight the necessity for EU-level initiatives to consider the field of mental health across various domains and plan advocacy activities. GAMIAN-Europe provides the secretariat for this Group.

    - shares experience and examples of good practice to strengthen the role and voice of patient organisations and effective input in EU and national policy development.
    forms active partnerships and cooperation with other stakeholders, e.g. the media, organisations (local, regional, national, European and academic institutions), employers and trade unions, the pharmaceutical industry, government and regulatory bodies and insurers with a view to:

    – securing the best possible treatment for patients with a mental illness and at the earliest possible opportunity
