2023 – Joint webinar with EIWH
This webinar was jointly organised by the European Institute of Women’s Health and the European Psychiatric Association, and co-hosted by Deirdre Clune (MEP) on 12 September 2023. Globally women are at a higher predisposition for mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. This webinar explored the mental health challenges faced by women across the globe and discussed opportunities to improve mental health outcomes whilst being mindful of gender-specific factors. This webinar brought together a diverse range of experts to synthesise key evidence, discuss important issues and make concrete recommendations on how access to healthcare, targeted healthcare supports and services, and gender equity must work in synergy to improve the mental health and wellbeing of everyone, everywhere.
