Objectives

In this project, we focused on the topic of mental health of young people and prepared a training course for youth workers to increase their competences on how to work with young people on this topic. The results of the research we have done, shown that youth workers, while working with young people in topics related to their mental health, can build only on their experience and their need is to gain expertise in this topic and to complete it systematically education to help them better understand and implement this topic in their work with young people. In this training course we wanted to focus on the topic of mental resilience of young people, as the acceptance of their own vulnerability and vulnerability of others, coping with stress and difficult situations, cultivating personal and social resources that impair mental health, self-confidence and capacity for emotional integration. The main objectivel of this project was to increase competences through non-formal education and faculty skills youth workers to be able to create, design and implement workshops, trainings, long - term or short - term training programs for young people with fewer opportunities (including NEETs), young people who are threatened by marginalization or come from a difficult socio-economic background. Specific objectives of this project: Introduce and teach youth workers a wide range of activities to support and develop mental resilience use these activities in working with young people. To create a community for change-oriented youth workers who will think similarly about the topic of mental health, they will be aware of the need for this topic among the target group of young people, and at the same time they will increase the quality of work with young people on mental health in the participating countries. We implemented the project in cooperation with partners from Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Malta, the Czech Republic and Romania.
