  • European Mental Health Responses to the Pandemic Survey

The EUPHA Public Mental Health Section, in cooperation with the Mental Health Foundation (UK), are collaborating in gathering information on countries’ responses to the mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are interested in learning about your perspective on how mental health support systems have adapted to the pandemic in different countries, regions and localities. The survey will take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete and findings may help shape future responses to the pandemic.
