Mind@Work

01 February 2026 – 31 January 2028

Mental health challenges affect nearly one in two Europeans, representing a growing socio-economic concern. In the workplace, the impact is particularly significant: stress, depression, and anxiety are the second most common work-related health problems in the European Union, with almost half of all workers reporting exposure to risk factors affecting their psychological well-being (Eurostat, 2020). Addressing mental health at work has become a strategic priority at international and European level, with the European Commission’s June 2023 Communication on a comprehensive approach to mental health.

Mind@Work responds to this urgent need by recognising the pivotal role employers play in safeguarding psychological well-being. The project equips organisations with the knowledge, tools, and policy guidance necessary to prevent and manage psychosocial risks effectively. By strengthening employers’ capacity to act, Mind@Work contributes to the broader European objective of integrating mental health into employment and social policy frameworks.

Through stakeholder-driven research, expert-led thematic webinars, and the development of a practical action brief, the project promotes evidence-based solutions for healthier workplaces. It addresses regulatory frameworks, digitalisation and mental health, and inequalities in work environments, ultimately supporting employers across Europe in building resilient and psychologically safe workplaces.
