    Are the arts a missing link in European Mental Health Care?
    May 5 2026
    Welcome to a new 'Between Two Curtains' podcast episode, produced by RED NOSES International as part of our activities for European Mental Health Week 2026 – this year under the theme Stronger Together: Prioritise Mental Health in a Changing Europe. Are the arts a missing link in European Mental Health Care? That is the question we are putting on the table today; and to explore it, we are joined by Ameer Shaheed, an arts and health consultant based in Switzerland, working with the World Health Organization, the Jameel Arts and Health Lab, and the European Commission. He combines a PhD in public health with a passion for music and is intrigued by how shifts in culture and attention can help address individual, environmental and societal challenges.
