MH4HRM Concludes with Final Conference in Bologna and Lasting Impact on Workplace Mental Health
The MH4HRM project (Mental Health Toolkit for Human Resources Managers in the Workforce), co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, has successfully concluded after 30 months of collaboration dedicated to strengthening mental health support in workplaces across Europe.
Throughout the project, the consortium — composed of organisations from Spain, Croatia, Italy, Greece, and Portugal — worked together to equip HR professionals with practical tools, knowledge, and resources to better prevent, identify, and manage mental health challenges in organisational settings.
MH4HRM addressed a growing need across European workplaces: while awareness of mental health has significantly increased in recent years, many organisations still lack structured approaches and practical resources to support employees and foster healthier work environments.
To respond to this challenge, the project developed a comprehensive learning ecosystem for HR professionals, including a 60-hour e-learning programme, a digital learning platform, microlearning videos, podcasts, communities of practice, and practical workplace-oriented resources.
A key milestone of the project was the piloting phase, during which more than 100 HR professionals from participating countries tested the platform and training materials in real organisational contexts. Feedback highlighted the practical relevance of the training, the accessibility of the platform, and the increased confidence of participants in addressing workplace mental health situations.
To conclude the project activities, partners gathered in Bologna, Italy, on 7 May for the final Transnational Project Meeting hosted by the University of Bologna. The meeting provided an opportunity to review the project’s final achievements, discuss dissemination activities, and reflect on the impact created through this European cooperation.
On 8 May, the MH4HRM Final Conference brought together partners, HR professionals, stakeholders, and participants to discuss workplace mental health and the role of HR in creating healthier and more inclusive organisations. The conference showcased the project’s results, tools, and training resources, while also encouraging the exchange of experiences and good practices related to well-being, leadership, and mental health at work.
Although the project has officially reached its conclusion, the impact of MH4HRM will continue beyond its lifetime. The tools, methodologies, and digital resources developed throughout the project are designed to be sustainable, transferable, and scalable across sectors and countries.
By empowering HR professionals, MH4HRM contributes to building healthier, more resilient, and more inclusive workplaces across Europe.
