The European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD) is an international non-profit organisation based in Leipzig, Germany, with several members and more than 100 regional network partners in Europe, Canada, Chile and Australia.

The main aim of the European Alliance Against Depression is to improve care and optimise treatment for patients with depressive disorders and to prevent suicidal behaviour. It was established in 2008 by a number of mental health experts from different European research institutions in order to sustain the EU-funded EAAD projects (2004-2008). The EAAD is involved in several European research projects targeting depression and suicide prevention.

The aim of World Mental Health Day is  to raise awareness about the importance of mental health, to reduce stigma, and promote mental well-being. It serves as a reminder that mental health is an essential part of overall health and encourages individuals and communities to take action in support of mental health. 

New European project launched to tackle mental health challenges and adapt interventions for vulnerable groups across Europe

International World Suicide Prevention Day is an important time to acknowledge and remember lives that have been sadly lost to suicide. For people who have been bereaved, and for others who are going through challenging times, it is a priority to highlight specialised services, supports, intervention and research projects, such as PROSPERH and MENTUPP, that the UCC School of Public Health and National Suicide Research Foundation are leading with many different agencies, internationally, nationally and locally.
