Main objectives: Empower youth workers with competencies, knowledge, and tools to address mental health challenges in their daily work. Raise self-awareness among participants and enhance their capacity to provide psychological first aid. Encourage youth workers to reflect on their personal limitations and practice self-care. Increase awareness of mental health issues in local communities and encourage open dialogue. Facilitate the exchange of best practices between youth workers from different countries.
