TALKING ABOUT IT MAKES US STRONGER
The TAMUS project supports European families in managing their mental health.
Operated by: KMOP Education & Innovation Hub

CHALLENGE

Promoting positive mental health for citizens of all ages should be a government priority as it reflects overall societal well-being. Despite its significance, the WHO reports that neuropsychiatric disorders account for 26% of the disease burden in the EU, with depression being the leading cause. Additionally, up to 50% of chronic sick leave in European workplaces is due to depression and anxiety.
