Dear colleague,
We invite you to join this #EUHPP Live Webinar.
The webinar, "Mental Health During the War in Ukraine: Challenges and Initiatives," provides a platform for international discussion on the profound impact of the war on mental health.
With speakers from the Ukrainian and Estonian National Psychological Associations, mental health experts from neighbouring countries, and representatives of EU-funded initiatives, it highlights both Ukrainian efforts and the collaborative support from other European nations in addressing the psychological toll of the conflict. By exploring the significant role of psychology in crisis situations, attendees will gain insights into current practices and cross-border collaborations that foster mental health protection, encouraging knowledge exchange and partnerships.
The event, organised in two sessions (on 8 and 19 November), is a joint effort by the Estonian Union of Psychologists, the Ukrainian National Psychological Association, and the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations (EFPA), as part of the European Semester of Psychology in Estonia. It aims to raise awareness among mental health professionals, policymakers, and the wider public about ongoing initiatives to safeguard mental well-being in Ukraine and beyond.
