Xth ENMESH International Conference
October 3 – 5, 2013
Verona, Italy

WELCOME

Dear friends and colleagues,

We cordially invite you to join us for the Xth ENMESH International Conference to be held on October 3 – 5, 2013 in Verona (Italy).
The conference theme will be “Recovery-Oriented Mental Health Services: Therapeutic, organisational and economic challenges”.
Mental health services throughout Europe experience a period of profound change, driven by continuing challenges to public health and political commitment on intergovernmental (e.g. WHO European Ministerial Conference) and national levels. Due to national and regional historical developments including more recent changes, European countries differ widely in the way they organize mental health services. These differences range from cultural definitions of mental illness to the percentage of national budgets spent on mental health care. There is also wide variation in the level of implementation of effective and adequately funded community-based services fostering social inclusion and recovery. Throughout Europe, innovative and effective treatment approaches are being developed, established, and evaluated. However, there are also areas of concern because services are lacking or poorly focussed.
In line with the previous ENMESH conferences, the Xth ENMESH International Conference 2013 in Verona gives an opportunity for mental health services researchers to present their findings and learn from differences, in order to further improve mental health care and research across Europe.
