Vienna (OTS) – Corona crisis, the war in Ukraine and the price increases for rents, energy and food have put a lot of strain on people in Austria in recent years. The crises have also led to an increase in mental illness. The government has implemented some long-requested improvements.
The Professional Association of Austrian Psychologists (BÖP) and the Austrian Federal Association for Psychotherapy (ÖBVP) show how important the responsibility of politics is to ensure the care and treatment of the population with psychological stress. Which projects are going well, where is there a need for action and where is there imminent danger?
Together with Social and Health Minister Johannes Rauch, we take stock of the legislative period and state our demands on the next federal government.
