After the Covid-19 pandemic, mental health and wellbeing among young people became a growing concern in Cyprus.  Especially, the issue of mental health is gaining prominence on the political agenda, as reflected in the initiatives and policies of the Ministry of Health. The Council of Ministers approved the Ministry’s proposal for the National Mental Health Strategy 2025-2028, which aims to strengthen the mental health system in Cyprus and protect the rights of individuals with mental health conditions, ultimately improving the quality of life for all citizens, with a particular focus on young people.
