"The WHO Regional Office for Europe organized the 1st meeting of the pan-European Mental Health Coalition on 4–5 May 2022 in a virtual format to begin development of the six working packages. Five parallel working group sessions were held to develop the strategic basis and content of each working package. Plenary sessions introduced the Coalition and summarized the outcomes of the parallel sessions. Discussion in each parallel session was structured using a framework designed by the Mental Health Flagship team. For each working package, an operationalized list of challenges, goals and actions for consideration were developed by Coalition members and supporters to direct the work of the Coalition in the coming year. Cross-cutting challenges included:
- rampant mental health stigma at all levels of society; - insufficient data based on shared indicators for implementation of interventions; - insufficient knowledge of existing legislation; - and a lack of consensus of what constitutes good practices. Goals for the working packages included galvanizing reform of mental health systems in response to rising awareness due to COVID-19 that everyone’s mental health is vulnerable, while ensuring alignment with national, regional and global frameworks. Actions for consideration required the involvement of non-healthcare-sector actors, investment in research, and mapping of existing legislation and tools to enable their adaptation to the needs of different areas of the WHO European Region. Members of the Coalition saw a clear need to ensure integration of the working packages from the beginning of their development. This report provides a brief sketch of the results of the 1st meeting of the Coalition. As an unprecedented form of collaboration for WHO Regional Office for Europe, the lessons learnt from this meeting will help in refining the process of engagement and maximizing the impact of Coalition work on mental health systems within the European Region."
