The European Parliament Interest Group on Mental Health, Wellbeing and Brain Disorders was set up in 2009 with the aim to advocate the development of sound EU policies which contribute to prevention of mental health problems and ensure good services, care and empowerment for those affected by mental health problems. The Group meets 3 times a year and these meetings provide an opportunity to advocate and underline the need for EU-level activities to take the field of mental health into account. The secretariat for this Group is being provided by GAMIAN-Europe. Co-chairs: MEPs Cristian Busoi, Nessa Childers, Marian Harkin, Jean Lambert and Tomas Zdechovsky.
