About Mental Health Europe
MHE is a non governmental organisation committed to the promotion of positive mental health and well-being, the prevention of mental health problems, the improvement of care, advocacy for social inclusion and the protection of the human rights of (ex)users of mental health services and their families and carers.
MHE represents associations, organisations and individuals active in the field of mental health and well-being in Europe, including (ex)users of mental health services, volunteers and professionals of many disciplines. MHE’s mission is to promote mental health and well-being of all citizens, from all minority groups and the whole of Europe. Created in 1985 as the Regional Council of the World Federation for Mental Health, Mental Health Europe currently has 67 member organisations in 30 European countries and 72 individual members. Eversince, MHE has been promoting and representing mental health in its broadest sense in Europe. MHE has found recognition and acknowledgement for its leading and innovative role in promoting positive mental health and well-being and social inclusion of people with mental health problems.
Mental Health Europe's vision is of a Europe where mental health and well-being is given high priority in the political spectrum and on the European health and social policy agenda, where (ex)users of mental health services live as full citizens with access to appropriate services and support when needed, and where meaningful participation is guaranteed at all levels of decision-making and administration.
MHE’s values are based on dignity and respect, equal opportunities, freedom of choice, non-discrimination, social inclusion, democracy and participation.
MHE believes that much more can be done in the promotion of mental health and well-being and the prevention of mental disorders if we address civil society, those suffering from mental illness, their carers and families.
