Thanks to WHO Regional Office for Europe for inviting us to introduce WELL CARE in the panel 'Helping the helpers' this morning, focusing on the current challenges and solutions to the mental health of the health and care workforce, during the Thematic meeting of the pan-European Mental Health Coalition. The discussion highlighted the challenges and shared interests of informal caregivers and professionals in the sector. Margrieta Langins Michelle McIsaac Elina Koota Sue Tranka Melanie Hyde

As the European institutions prepare for a new mandate, it is essential to recall the 2022 European commitment to ensure everyone has access to affordable and high-quality long-term care. Member States are expected to submit their plans to implement the European Care Strategy this week. Today, being an informal carer is associated with higher risks of anxiety and depression,?and the highest proportion of strained jobs is among LTC workers. National governments must address the well-being and mental health of informal carers and care professionals if we want to address the current inadequacy of our long-term care systems. The WELL CARE project is designing solutions based on an integrated care approach, building on stakeholder participation and rigorous evaluation. Evidence-based reforms in policies and practices can improve the wellbeing and resilience of those who provide care on a regular/daily basis.
