Healthy and Resilient Mindset with an Organized, Nurturing, and Digital Workplace for You

The H.A.R.M.O.N.Y. project brings together higher education institutions (HEI), providers of vocational education and training (VET), research institutions, small medium size enterprises (SME), and EU-wide network organizations in a joint approach to support European SMEs and their employees to prevent the negative consequences of mental health challenges in today's workplaces.

The project aims to contribute to better handling of mental health at SME workplaces:
- Improve the SME employer’s competence to prevent and deal with most common mental health issues among their employees;
- Build the capacity of HEI teachers and VET providers to improve integration of work-related mental health aspects in their programmes and competencies;
- Promote an exchange of good practices among researchers, occupational safety and health experts and service providers, and labour market actors;
- Investigate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and develop a framework and AI architecture to pave the way for the development of a personalized self-monitoring tool for SME employees with previous history of mental health issues and employees interested in monitoring of their own mental health status and preventing mental health problems.

The project is expected to improve the knowledge and skills of the target groups in the field of mental health at workplaces and create a sustainable concept that can be implemented EU-wide as a collaboration between HEIs, VET providers, research institutions, occupational safety and health experts and service providers, and labour market actors.

The final concept will have 8 pieces of training modules related to work-related stress, anxiety, and depression for SME employers to better deal with mental health challenges and an AI models’ architecture for better support employees to predict the eventual fallback of their mental health challenges. All will be available on a specially designed digital platform.
