Alviina Alametsä is a Finnish politician of the Greens/EFA group at the European Parliament. She is a Member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a Member and Group Coordinator in the Committee on Security and Defence, and a Substitute Member in the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the Committee on Petitions. At the age of 29, she is the youngest serving Finnish MEP and one of the youngest MEPs in the European Parliament. Alviina has long been passionate about mental health. Before she became a Member of European Parliament, she has worked on several mental health related initiatives in Finland. She has been a project manager for the Finnish Association for Mental Health and, in 2019, she organized a citizens' initiative to make free mental health services available to everyone in Finland. This initiative collected enough names to now be in consideration in the Finnish parliament. She has also advocated for accessible mental health services as a city council member, initiating the founding of several low threshold mental health clinics.
