The EU-funded project MENTUPP, Mental Health Promotion and Intervention in Occupational Settings, proudly supports Self-Injury & Self-Harm Awareness Day 2021 (SIAD). On this day we increase awareness about the signs of self-harm, challenge stigma and encourage those self-harming to reach out for support.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that despite nearly 1 billion people living with mental health disorders, mental health is one of the most neglected areas of public health.

Each year, around 20 million European citizens are affected from depression. Depression is a serious illness which impacts on all aspects of life, including work.

More than 54,000 people in the countries of the European Union die from suicide every year. More than 90% of suicides occur in the context of a psychiatric disorder, of which the majority are depressive disorders.
