Mental Health Promotion and Intervention in Occupational Settings (MENTUPP)
Mental Health Promotion and Intervention in Occupational Settings (MENTUPP) is a project that aims to improve mental health in the workplace by developing, implementing and evaluating a multilevel intervention targeting mental health difficulties in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the construction, health and ICT sectors. During the project MENTUPP will:
- Develop a multi-level intervention, delivered through a Hub, by adapting and integrating existing, evidence-based interventions for non-clinical and clinical mental health issues and de-stigmatisation of mental (ill-)health into a single programme,
- Tailor the intervention by workplace sector, gender and delivery mode (face-to-face vs online), as well as pilot and optimise the intervention in nine countries across Europe and Australia,
- Conduct a multi-country cluster randomised controlled trial in nine countries across Europe and Australia to assess the effectiveness of the optimised intervention, looking at improvements in the mental health of employees and employers, and cost-effectiveness and implementation factors in SMEs in the target sectors,
- Further optimise the intervention for wider replication in new SMEs and countries after the project ends, and
- Promote the project and intervention to stakeholders, including policymakers, insurers, social partners, regulatory authorities, and the general public at both European and global levels.

The MENTUPP Hub
The MENTUPP Hub is an online tool that helps SMEs to create a healthy work environment. The MENTUPP Hub contributes to improved productivity in your workplace and reduction of absenteeism; timely diagnosis of employees, managers, staff with a severe mental health disorder; improved work satisfaction and healthier work environment; and reduction of stigma related to mental illness in your workplace. The MENTUPP consortium will test the MENTUPP Hub to improve the wellbeing of employees at work. The Trial begins in June 2022 and we are currently recruiting SMEs in Europe and Australia to participate in the testing of the MENTUPP Hub aimed at achieving mentally healthy workplaces.
