After the Global Mental Health held in Paris on October 5 and 6, the“Headway 2023"phygital Forum took place October 7th, 2021 9.30 to 11.30 in Brussels and in digital.

“Headway 2023” is an initiative on Mental Health that was conceived and launched in 2017 by the The European House – Ambrosetti in partnership with Angelini Pharma with the aim of creating a multidisciplinary platform for strategic reflection, analysis, dialogue and comparison between various European experiences.

In 2021, the goal of “Headway 2023” has been to continue the work started in 2017 aimed at sharing knowledge and know-how to prevent, diagnose, manage and find solutions that reduce the burden of mental disorders not only in the health sector, but also in workplaces, schools and society at large.

During the Forum, the “Headway 2023 – Mental Health Index”, a holistic and multidimensional model considering a multiplicity of elements and interventions across health, welfare and education policies in European countries, has been presented.

We talked about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Mental Health; and how to respond to “new” mental health needs in workplaces, schools and society in general.
