The last few months have taken a huge mental health toll on so many of us. Perhaps now more than ever, it’s important to be aware of our own mental health as well as signs that our loved ones may be struggling. Mental health is a very complex topic, but I’ve pulled together some wellness-inspired articles:

INVITATION [All CARe Network Members]
The EURECO partners would like to invite you to participate in an online event about the importance of peer expertise in mental health services design.
Title: "New Horizons in Mental Health Care: Strengthening mental health services by peer-expertise and digitalization"
When? Thursday, 26th of November 2020 from 14:00 to 17:00 CEST. Where? Online. Registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vceCoqzkuH9DC5YI4Ven-OfacvIa0sbJH
About the event
In inclusive research, knowledge is developed and shared by people with and without experiential expertise. But involving peer experts as participants in research projects, policy and implementation still doesn’t come naturally. Why is peer expertise so important? And how can peer expertise be implemented in services? During our online event, we will exchange ideas on these and other topics. In addition, several international speakers will talk about the importance of peer expertise in mental health services design, implementation and evaluation and how it could be put in practice.
