MHE National Focal Points Training sessions 2010
Mental Health Europe organized a session of five National Focal Point (NFP) Trainings in the first half of 2010. NFPs are intermediaries between MHE and its member organisations and other stakeholders in their respective country in cases were information from the European level needs to be disseminated at the national, regional and local level, as well as in cases where MHE needs input from its members working at the local, regional and national level in order to report back to the European level on specific issues of consultation.
The participants received an update on the recent developments in EU institutions and policies such as the implications of the new Lisbon Treaty, the EU 2020 Strategy which is the EU's new strategy for the next 10 years, and the changes in the European Commission and Parliament. The sessions on the latest policy developments in the field of social inclusion, mental health - in particular the European Pact for Mental Health and Wellbeing - and human rights were organized in the form of workshops where all participants contributed with their own experiences in the respective field.
The trainings took place in the following locations:
- On 11-12 February 2010 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with participants from Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany and Slovenia
- On 11-12 March 2010 in Bucharest, Romania, with participants from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Romania
- On 15-16 April 2010 in Madrid, Spain, with participants from Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), France, Italy, Portugal and Spain
