The project 'YOUR Care –YOUth Care! mental health & well-being in youth work' aimed to empower youth workers with essential skills and knowledge to promote mental health and well-being among young people. Our objectives were to enhance participants' competencies in identifying and addressing mental health issues, foster a supportive environment, and promote self-care and well-being among youth workers. Through this initiative, we intended to create a ripple effect where the enhanced capacity of youth workers would subsequently improve the mental health support available to youth in the participating countries.
