MEP Maria Walsh: Why Youth Mental Health Must Be a Top EU Priority | #Gen_E Talks

As a passionate advocate for mental health, Maria shares how she and her colleagues have pushed for real change, including the creation of the Parliament’s first-ever Intergroup on Mental Health. Maria’s message is clear: your mental health matters, you deserve to be seen and to belong, and politicians must do more than just react to crises-they must build a society with strong supports in place from the start. She invites young people to share their ideas on how MEPs can better involve youth in shaping policies that affect their lives. Join the conversation and help shape a healthier, more inclusive future for all young Europeans.
