15 Preliminary Conclusions There is a need for EU Member States to support and invest in the following: Infrastructure on depression in other areas (telephone case management, internet based psychotherapy) Access to self-help groups across all regions Information provision via the internet Improving quality of care across all regions (collaborative, integrated and stepped care) Next steps
