24.10.2024SNF Funding for the “ImpleMENT”-Project

Our Chair has received funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) as part of the "Implementation Networks" program. Of the 21 submitted projects, 9 were funded, including the Chair's project, "ImpleMENT".

As part of the previous NFP74 project "CoLiPri" the team developed the innovative Center for Mental Health (CMH) in collaboration with a network of general practitioners, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists. This center aims to enhance the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders in primary care settings.

The current project, "ImpleMENT" aims to strengthen and expand the existing network of general practitioners, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists and develop a sustainable framework to integrate the CMH into Switzerland's healthcare structures. This will improve collaboration among healthcare providers and further optimize mental health care for people across Switzerland.
