Global Leadership Exchange connects leaders in mental health, disability and substance use.
Invited by the Netherlands Institute of Psychologists (NIP), EFPA attended the Global Leadership Exchange 2024 event on 27 and 28 June, hosted in Utrecht.
The two-day event gathered experts from national and international organisations, as well as individuals with lived experience from across the globe, to share their leadership experiences in improving health, wellbeing, and services for people with disabilities, mental health issues, or substance use problems.
As an example of the work done, the European policy-making and advocacy session -attended among others by EFPA, the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) and Mental Health Europe (MHE) and moderated by the Dutch International Mental Health Hub - represented a great opportunity to identify and begin actioning shared goals for European mental health. Some key emerging themes included: an all-policies approach; engaging civil society; accessibility; workforce factors; and digitalisation.
