On the occasion of the European Public Health Week and its topic Innovation for Resilience: Shaping a Sustainable Future, the Europe Region of World Physiotherapy is holding a webinar on the physiotherapy skills to manage with persons with mental health problems.

The ever-changing world brings us not only challenges but also opportunities to work better, to live better. Scientific research lets us better understand the interconnectedness of the human body and mind, lifting the stigma of mental health problems and calling for deeper involvement of all health care professionals into the management of mental health challenges.

Physiotherapy is not an exclusion in this situation. On the contrary, physiotherapists are in the perfect place: all the skills, knowledge and tools are already there. This webinar will include short presentations focusing on competencies and tools every physiotherapist should already have and the impact that putting these resources in action can have.
