A bold shift toward open-access, preventative mental health support is underway in Wales, with digital technologies playing a central role. This direction was spotlighted at eMHIC’s landmark roundtable at Cardiff Castle on April 17, 2024, where leaders and experts came together to help shape the future of digital mental health.

Digital technologies are at the heart of a bold transformation in mental health support in Wales, signalling a move toward open-access services that prioritise prevention and early intervention.

 

This vision was powerfully reinforced during eMHIC’s landmark roundtable event at Cardiff Castle, which brought together senior leaders from the NHS, Welsh Government, and global digital mental health experts to explore innovative, collaborative solutions.

Held in an iconic setting, the roundtable was a pivotal moment in strengthening cross-sector partnerships and aligning around a shared goal: making mental health support more accessible, proactive, and person-centred through the strategic use of digital tools.

The NHS Executive has since highlighted this direction in its recent article, affirming the importance of digital technologies in reshaping mental health services in Wales.
