During May 2012, the Slovensko združenje za duševno zdravje (SENT) [Slovenian Association of Mental Health] and CAW Artevelde from Belgium hosted training sessions for police staff, so that police can gain a better understanding of the mental health consequences of domestic violence. The training sessions were developed by Mental Health Europe (MHE) as its contribution to the EU Daphne Project, which was launched in 2004 to prevent and combat violence against children, young people, and women, and to protect victims and groups at risk of violence.

 
 
On World Health Day, April 7th 2012, Mental Health Europe (MHE) called on the European Commission to include the subject of mental health in the Commission's 'Health for Growth Programme 2014-2020', which will have a budget of €446 million.
