Aims

The overall aim of the MINDFUL project is to improve the status of mental health information within the European Union. Based on previous work conducted in this field, the project aims at widening the scope of the mental health monitoring systems to cover - not only mental ill-health - but also positive mental health and mental health promotion and prevention, which have been rather neglected until now. In view of this goal, the outcome of this work is a comprehensive forward-looking system which endorses sound and sensible policy-making based on reliable and comparable information. In order to achieve the objectives in full, the project co-operates closely with relevant organisations (eg. Eurostat, OECD, WHO, and national institutions).
