The European Community-based Mental Health Service Providers (EUCOMS) Network is based on mutual learning and support between mental health service providers, as well as users, carers and representative associations working to establish high-quality community mental health care. In addition to this mutual learning and support, EUCOMS bridges the gap between policy and practice and gives service providers a voice in national and European politics. The ultimate goal of the network is to establish high-quality community mental health services and make them accessible to users in Europe and beyond. The CCOMS, an active member of EUCOMS, is delighted that members of the network will be attending the SFSP congress.

🌍 Why Attend?

This landmark gathering will bring together professionals, researchers, people with lived experience, policymakers, and civil society actors from across Europe. It is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and explore innovative, population-level approaches to mental health.

EUCOMS will be actively featured throughout the congress in multiple sessions, workshops, and symposia.
