Mental health and addiction crisis in Poland
Overview
Mental health and addiction experts in Poland have highlighted systemic crises, including the limitations of traditional psychiatry and the severe impact of alcohol. Experts have advocated for a ‘mental first line’ approach using accessible self-help methods and noted that approximately 110 people die daily from alcohol-related causes in the country.
In response to these challenges, regional authorities have begun implementing targeted support programs. In the Łódź Voivodeship, the ‘Zdrowy Start’ program provides psychological and dietary consultations for youth aged 10 to 18. Meanwhile, Lower Silesia has allocated 800,000 PLN to strengthen psychological assistance through Child Assistance Centers, focusing on prevention, education, and early intervention for minors and their caregivers.
