Belgium
A conference entitled 'Young People and Mental Health: Prevention and Early Intervention in Europe' will be held on 30 May 2013 in Brussels, Belgium.
According to the latest EU Youth Report, mental illnesses among young people are more common than ever in the European Union. An estimated 10-20% of young Europeans suffer from mental health illnesses, with one-fifth suffering from developmental, emotional and behavioural problems.
Aiming to foster a multi-dimensional approach in addressing mental health problems affecting the young, this international symposium provides an opportunity to explore the effectiveness of current policy measures at the EU level while raising awareness of prevention and early intervention techniques.
Delegates will discuss the role of health practitioners, schools and parents in identifying warning signs for children and young people at high risk of developing mental health problems. The role of the internet, particularly the rise of social media in reaching the youth will also be explored.For further information, please visit:
