Did you know that 55% of adults in Europe are at risk of depression? This silent crisis is reshaping lives, workplaces, and communities—and women are disproportionately affected.
📍 On November 13, we gathered at the French Embassy in Berlin for an inspiring evening:
“𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 – 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.”
✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼-𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲
This was more than an event—it was the beginning of a cross-border conversation on women’s mental health, a cornerstone for family well-being, workplace dynamics, and societal progress.
