During the 14th General Meeting of the Europe Region, the documents produced by the Working Groups, the Executive Committee and the secretariat during the past term were presented to the Member Organisations of the Europe Region of World Physiotherapy for approval and noting.

As several comments were received on the briefing paper “Harnessing Physiotherapy Skills for Mental Health Solutions: A Call for Action in Europe”, it was agreed by the Member Organisations to take back the document to the 2022-2024 term members of the Mental Health Working Group in order to integrate those comments into the document.

After being updated, the document was sent to Member Organisations and an extraordinary online vote opened on 6 November 2024 for its approval.

Voting closed on 19 November 2024. 24 Member Organisations cast their vote and the briefing paper “Harnessing Physiotherapy Skills for Mental Health Solutions: A Call for Action in Europe” was approved with a result of 24 votes in favour, none against and no abstentions. 

The document is now available here and on the Europe Region’s website.
