Adolescence is a crucial period for developing and maintaining social and emotional habits important for mental well-being. Including healthy sleep patterns; regular exercise; coping, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. An estimated 10-20% of adolescents globally experience mental health conditions, yet these remain underdiagnosed and under-treated. Multiple physical, emotional, and social changes, including exposure to poverty, abuse, or violence, could make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems. Promoting psychological well-being and protecting adolescents from adverse experiences and risk factors that may impact their potential to thrive is critical for their well-being during adolescence. Multiple factors determine mental health outcomes. The more risk factors adolescents are exposed to, the greater the potential impact on their mental health. Factors that could contribute to stress during adolescence include a desire for greater autonomy, pressure to conform with peers, exploration of sexual identity, and increased access to and use of technology. Media influence and gender norms exacerbate the disparity between adolescents’ lived reality and their perceptions or aspirations for the future. Other important determinants include the quality of their home life and relationships with peers. Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to sexual violence, which had a clear association with detrimental mental health. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a huge impact on the well-being of young people. Fear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen were overwhelming for young people. Public health actions, such as social distancing, made people feel isolated and lonely and increased stress and anxiety. However, these actions were necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Coping with stress in a healthy way made our community stronger. Some adolescents were at greater risk of mental health conditions due to their living conditions, stigma, discrimination, or exclusion, or lack of access to quality support and services. Adolescents with mental health conditions were in turn particularly vulnerable to social exclusion, discrimination, stigma, educational difficulties, risk-taking behaviors, physical ill-health, and human rights violations. Mental health problems among young people varied from anger to anxiety and panic attacks, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders, loneliness, etc. According to WHO, suicide and accidental death from self-harm were the third cause of adolescent mortality in 2015, resulting in an estimated 67,000 deaths. Self-harm largely occurred among older adolescents, and globally it was the second leading cause of death for older adolescent girls. It was the leading or second cause of adolescent death in Europe and South-East Asia. The objectives of the Erasmus+ youth exchange program Inner Engineering were the following: - To raise awareness and develop an understanding of the existing mental health conditions - To broaden the knowledge of young people about mindful practices and how mental health conditions could be treated - To make young people reflect upon their social and cultural background regarding the topic of mental health conditions and well-being - To explore the potential of healthy lifestyles and mindful practices in preventing risk-taking and self-harm behaviors - To establish a network of like-minded organizations and individuals who were interested in further exchange on the topic of healthy lifestyles and mental well-being - To raise awareness about the effect of mental health conditions, especially after the pandemic period, among different stakeholders by developing and disseminating blog posts and publications.
