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:

1. Health professionals working in the mental health sector

2. Teachers and educators working in the educational setting

3. Social workers working in various community settings

4. Professionals working in prisons and juvenile detention centres.

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 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
