When discussing mental health, particularly in regards to young people, there are often misconceptions and stereotypes that do not reflect reality. It is important to understand that mental health is a vital component of overall health, and not just related to mental illness. Mental wellbeing encompasses a person's ability to connect with themselves, interact with others, handle life's challenges, thrive in their environment, and contribute to society. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of mental wellbeing, particularly among young people who have been impacted by isolation, anxiety, and other challenges. Poor mental health can lead to the development of mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, and preventive actions are necessary to reduce these risks. Adolescence and young adulthood (generally between the ages of 16 and 25) are critical periods for mental wellbeing, as this is when mental health problems often arise. Unfortunately, young people face barriers in accessing appropriate mental health services due to stigma and lack of youth-friendly services. Youth organisations and youth workers can play an important role in promoting mental wellbeing and supporting young people's mental health. Youth workers have the opportunity to promote mental wellbeing in all interactions with young people, particularly vulnerable youth at risk of developing mental health problems. Youth work is often the first link in the chain of prevention, the field of youth participation and co-constructed activities with youth and an appropriate space for building resilience and fighting stereotypes, stigma, bullying and hate speech. The aim of this project is to develop an innovative approach to support youth workers in understanding and enhancing young people's mental wellbeing, with a focus on non-formal and informal methods that can reduce stress and improve the workplace environment. This approach also serves as a challenge for inclusion, as youth workers can better support young people who feel excluded or lack self-confidence. The training provided is not intended to solve mental health problems or provide therapy, but rather to equip youth workers with the skills and knowledge to respond appropriately and seek professional help when necessary. Overall, this training aims to promote mental wellbeing as a positive resource that strengthens the inclusion of young people. The project is composed by 3 activities, strictly linked one to another: 1. A Training Course - where the Trainers will provide information, innovative tools and methods for youth workers to face the topics of mental health from the positive view of the youth empowerment; 2. An intermediary activity: A local implementation (workshop) 3. A Seminar for evaluating the intermediate activity (local workshop in each of the 5 countries participating in the project) and especially to provide room to the participants to showcase their own methods and tools. The project is designed for participants able to follow the whole process (in 3 steps) for a global learning on the topic and for their full empowerment and active role. This project will be based on principles of non-formal education. Theory inputs will be mixed with a self directed learning approach. That means that participants will be responsible for their own learning process, organising some activities they think are more suitable for them, with the support of the facilitators, who provide activities, inspiration, tools and guidance. The training course will be characterised by highly participatory, interactive and experiential methods. The working methods will include case studies, working in pairs or small groups, role plays and theatre activities, creativity tools, discussions, team building activities, reflection and self reflection. Objectives - To increase awareness of the importance of mental health for youth; - To develop participants' knowledge regarding the key-role that youth work plays in the prevention of youth mental diseases, through youth empowerment; - To support youth workers by providing them with the inspiration and tools to integrate mental wellbeing in an innovative approach; - To provide youth workers with tools to support a tailored connection with youth about their mental wellbeing, necessary in a similar process; - To make a clear transition to daily work by helping youth organisations to promote mental wellbeing for youth; - To develop participants' skills in implementing and debriefing non-formal methods that will improve work with youth using a variety of methods and tools (artistic, psychological,.. ) creating a toolbox.
