SASTIPE is a transnational initiative dedicated to improving access to quality mental health services for Roma communities in Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece.

By addressing specific needs, reducing stigma, and fostering inclusion, the project brings together Roma Health Mediators (RHM) and Mental Health Professionals (MHP) to work in close cooperation, identifying challenges, developing solutions, and creating more inclusive mental health care pathways. SASTIPE gathers data on the mental health difficulties faced by Roma individuals, builds on existing good practices, and provides targeted training to both MHP and RHM, enabling them to work effectively within communities and the wider health system.

Resilient Cities, Healthy People is a research-based initiative exploring how meaningful social connections can serve as a powerful tool for promoting mental health and well-being.

Through the project, Social Hubs made up of vulnerable populations—including older adults, refugees, migrants, and survivors of gender-based violence—are supported in designing and implementing community-driven social initiatives that directly address their collective needs.

Migration in Mind: Enhancing Access to Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for Persons in Migration (MinM)

MinM is a transnational collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing access to mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) for persons in migration by improving mental health literacy, the quality of care, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.

Improving mental health and well-being through simple, everyday actions.

The ABCs of Mental Health is a research-based mental health promotion project that supports individuals and communities to improve their well-being through simple, everyday actions. The strength of the project lies in its simplicity and salutogenic approach, which focuses on what supports health and well-being rather than what causes illness. Based on the Act-Belong-Commit model, the ABCs of Mental Health highlights the power of simple, everyday actions—such as going for a walk, connecting with a friend, or reading a book—offering a practical pathway to prevention and supporting the development of long-term mental resilience.

Promoting mental health wellbeing among vulnerable young adolescents.

Our goal is to deliver high-quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) to adolescents in need through the EASE program, fostering resilience and mental health in communities facing adversity. EASE aims to support adolescents and their caregivers who are facing difficulties, such as symptoms of distress, anxiety, and depression due to an emergency context with skills to reduce distress.

Methodology development for migrants’ and refugees’ mental health promotion during integration into a new host environment.

MiMIND aims at promoting good mental health and preventing mental health problems among migrants, refugees, and internally displaced people from Ukraine through the methodological support of the integration and essential services (healthcare and social care, education and employment), often being displaced people’s only contact to and support in the new host environment. 5 partners from 3 countries will collect and adapt existing EU and global best and promising practices, approaches, tools and implementable research results on mental health assessment and promotion, and incorporate them into two Codes of Good Practices, supporting integration services. Partners will test elements of these Codes in pilot actions in Hungary, Romania and Ukraine, promoting mental health in family-based interventions, in a school setting and in primary health care.
