The Working Group on Integrated Care and Support will run between 2018-2021 examining a different target group each year to cover the life cycle.

The 3rd Integrated Care and Support working group took place online on 8-9 September 2020 and it examined strategies for providing integrated support for adults with mental health issues. The meeting welcomed over 100 participants over the two days, with insightful keynote addresses of representatives from the public and private sectors, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the World Health Organisation. We also engaged in mutual learning and an exchange of local practice from Denmark, Italy and Latvia.

Webinar resources are available for members in the members area.
