6th Transnational Workshop of the "MentalHealthMatters"

Description

On November 29, 2024, the 6th Transnational Workshop of the "MentalHealthMatters" project was held online, bringing together project partners from Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Poland, Sweden, and Norway. The workshop focused on advancing ongoing tasks and refining key project outputs as the initiative approaches its final stages.

The NDPHS Secretariat outlined the upcoming objectives for the National Communities of Practice, emphasizing the need to develop 3-7 well-considered actions by the Trondheim meeting. These actions are to be grounded in realism, urgency, and potential impact, with the goal of laying the foundation for sustainable improvements in workplace mental health.

A significant portion of the workshop was dedicated to the progress of the First-Aid Kit. Riga Stradins University reported that the compilation of database materials is complete, and the final encoding stages are underway. Key updates included the preparation of a 2-3-minute promotional video and scheduling of usability testing. With no further changes planned, partners can now begin translating materials for national versions, with a recommendation to include supplementary resources tailored to local needs, such as national legislation.

Additionally, the NDPHS Secretariat presented the first draft of the introductory transnational chapter, which will serve as a foundational element of the project's broader impact narrative.

Planning for the final conference continues, marking the project’s progression toward its culmination. The workshop underscored the partners' shared commitment to delivering actionable, scalable solutions for improving workplace mental health.
