Together with our members and partners, we cooperate, and share international knowledge, to inspire, to stimulate innovation and to put mental health higher on the (policy) agenda. We organize webinars for our members and partners. You can follow us on our community Internationaal verbinden and LinkedIn.
On our Community we share the agenda with international mental health events as well as interesting news and documents with resourceful information. Please sign up for our international community to be able to exchange with others and receive updates. We also post regularly on LinkedIn.

We are very interested in working together with new partners and exploring new themes. Contact Madelon Sinnige at Msinnige@denederlandseggz.nl.
