Many migrants in Europe continue to experience challenges in accessing mental health support. While there is growing evidence from different fields on ways in which such support can be enhanced, structural inequities in care are still significant.

This one-day conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and end-users to discuss and reflect on the current state of research, policy and practice in migrant mental health, and the responses of states, healthcare systems, and civil societies. The event will provide the opportunity to share evidence and good practices but also to identify structural injustices that continue to cause suffering and contribute to poor mental health among some of society’s most vulnerable groups.

The event will also serve as a platform for informing mental health policies and discussing how the Danish 10-year action plan for mental health can be made more inclusive and better respond to the needs of migrants.

The conference will take place at the University of Copenhagen. Please register your attendance by emailing hejdi.abdelhamid@sund.ku.dk.
