The MENTBEST project is committed to strengthening mental health across Europe, especially for populations most affected by rapid social, economic, digital and political changes. As the project progresses, several key public deliverables have been produced across different work packages. Together, they lay the scientific, methodological and operational foundations for the COMBINA intervention and the MENTINA digital trial.
