As the current COVID-19 crisis reminds us, public mental health may still lack full recognition in public
health, despite numerous European public health agendas that underline the importance of mental health
within the public health domain. We examine the position of public mental health in European public
health and how it is represented in current research. Moreover, we explore how public mental health could
play a key role in both seizing present-day opportunities (e.g. telemedicine advancements) and tackling
future challenges (e.g. climate change and the risk for widening health inequities) in public health. To
further population health in an equitable manner, an inclusive and holistic approach to health is needed to
sustain resilient people in healthy environments. As next-generation researchers, we call on our peers to
amplify their voices and reshape the public health research agenda by further prioritizing public mental
health research.
