Cork / Frankfurt am Main, 12.01.2026 - A landmark scientific article on an evidence-based programme to reduce depression and suicidal behaviour – the Community-Based 4-Level Intervention developed by the European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD) – was published in Nature Mental Health on Friday 9th January 2026. The EAAD approach provides a sustainable model for community-based mental health care that can be effectively adapted to various contexts, including current and future public health emergencies.

MΜaD (Metal Music against Depression) was formed by Nightfall and the European Alliance Against Depression to raise awareness about depression within the heavy metal community (and beyond) and reduce the stigma and ignorance associated with it.

Implementation of digital interventions for depression worldwide is a project that aims to explore perspectives of health care practitioners from primary care (general practitioners, family doctors and psychologists) toward digital interventions for depression.

My name is Alexandra Clement, and I am a first year PhD student in the PhD Health Quality program at Queen’s University, which is in Ontario, Canada. Over the summer in 2021, I was incredibly fortunate to have the EAAD host my internship, with Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hegerl as my supervisor.
