Disease prevention and health promotion

The Trimbos Institute conducts many prevention and early detection activities in the mental health sector. In the field of addiction, we develop programmes to prevent substance use, delay the first use of substances, decrease the amounts consumed by current users and minimise substance-related problems.

Health Promotion 
The promotion of good health is relatively new in the field of prevention. Health promotion  activities seek to improve mental and physical health and well-being. The 'Mental Vitality' programme is one such effort developed by the Trimbos Institute.

Mental Health
The Trimbos Institute develops, standardises and implements preventative interventions in the field of mental health (e.g. against depression or suicide). The associated clinical guidelines enhance the quality of the mental health care.
