About this project

Pia Hauck from European Alliance Against Depression e.V. is responsible for this project
What?
We are organizing the second European Patient Congress Depression, a free virtual event open to everyone. This congress brings together experts, patients, and families to discuss practical advice, treatment options, and coping strategies for those affected by depression.

After the very successful first European Patient Congress Depression (watch the session recordings here), which took place on 7 December 2024, we would like to continue our path and offer further events to support persons suffering from depression and their loved ones.

Why?
Depression is a serious, recurrent illness affecting millions across Europe, with over 7% of EU citizens suffering from it. It impacts patients and their loved ones, but it’s treatable. This congress offers expert advice, personal stories, and support, including how to handle suicidal tendencies, fostering hope and understanding. 

How?
Your donations will help cover the costs of professional broadcasting and streaming, ensuring the event remains free and accessible. This includes:

  • High-quality production for a seamless virtual experience
  • A reliable platform capable of supporting a large international audience
  • Professional presentation to keep viewers engaged without technical issues
Your support will ensure an unforgettable event that delivers vital content with clarity and ease for everyone.

Who benefits from your donations?
Your donation ensures people affected by depression, their loved ones, and those interested in mental health can attend the congress for free. With your help, we can provide critical information and support to hundreds across Europe. 

Our Story:
We are the European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD), a non-profit organization bringing together experts on depression and suicide prevention from over 20 countries. With the European Congress on Depression, we are committed to making it accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation. By contributing, you will be helping us give a voice to those who need it most and provide crucial resources to people struggling with depression.

Join Us!
If you or someone you know is affected by depression, or wants to learn more about mental health, this congress is for you. Your support makes this free, engaging event possible. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against depression!
