New RESPOND Policy Brief: Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic for Mental Health and Wellbeing

A new RESPOND policy brief has just been published entitled “Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic for Mental Health and Wellbeing”.

This is the sixth and final Policy Brief of the RESPOND project. It serves as a comprehensive summary of the latest findings from the RESPOND project, specifically addressing the short- and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and wellbeing in the general population, in health and care workers, and in other vulnerable groups.

It outlines the insights gained from our analysis of the policy response, aiming to better inform the development of policies that account for mental health policies during pandemics and other public health crises. Finally, it contains the results so far of the studies evaluating the stepped care DWM/ PM+ programme in decreasing psychological distress among health workers and refugees.
