Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you about EU-PROMENS (European PROgramme for Mental health Exchanges, Networking and Skills), a capacity-building programme on mental health financed by the EU4Health Programme. It will be implemented by the project consortium (GFA Consulting Group GmbH, Trimbos Institute, and Mental Health Europe) between January 2024 and December 2026.
A major part of EU-PROMENS is to design, develop and implement a European mental health multidisciplinary training programme that will target different groups of professionals, including:
At this moment, the project team is conducting a training needs and competency assessment for the development of this comprehensive, prevention-oriented Multidisciplinary Training Programme on Mental Health for Health and Other Professionals Working in Community Settings.
To do so, the project Team aims to interview national level policy-makers working in the health, social services, education and law enforcement sectors to identify the training audiences and training needs, gaps and obstacles in mental health both from a systemic and a professional activity perspective.
We would like to interview a designated person responsible for mental health at the national level or having knowledge of the country`s mental health system to gather information about training needs, gaps and obstacles in capacities, knowledge, competencies, and current challenges in mental health.
The interview will take no longer than 45-60 minutes and will be conducted in accordance with international data protection laws. Responses will be kept confidential and will not be attributed to any individual or country.
As we are also collecting information on training programmes and training modules at national or local level, particularly descriptions of these programmes, we welcome any information on training programmes/modules you are aware of and can already share with us.
For additional information on the project please find attached EU-PROMENS factsheet and visit our website EU-PROMENS - EU-PROMENS or contact me, as indicated below.
Your reply with the information and contact details of the person who can participate in the interview would be appreciated. Please reply at your earliest convenience but not later than 25 July 2024. Please note that in order to meet our deadlines we need to complete the data collection by 31 August 2024.
Best regards,
Dr Agnes Czimbalmos
