Youth mental health continues to be one of the most pressing issues in Europe. Since the pandemic, young people are increasingly reporting anxiety, depression, trauma, and disconnection. At the same time, access to professional mental health care is limited: long waiting times, unaffordable private therapy, and societal taboos prevent many from seeking or receiving support. Copenhagen Youth Network (CYN) has taken a proactive approach to this crisis since 2020. Based on ongoing surveys, youth consultations, and previous Erasmus+ projects in 2022 - 2025, the organization has identified the need for deeper, more integrative mental health support systems within youth work. In 2025, CYN is developing this foundation further with an advanced curriculum that goes beyond surface-level mental health literacy and offering transformative tools rooted in psychotherapy, somatic awareness, and systemic understanding. The project will: • Equip youth workers, educators, and trainers with practical tools to recognize, understand, and support young people’s mental health needs. • Provide a safe space for participants to explore topics such as trauma, social disconnection, emotional regulation, and conflicts within close relationships. • Introduce cutting-edge methods such as body-oriented psychotherapy, schema therapy, and systemic constellation work. • Promote awareness about the dangers of replacing human emotional support with AI-based tools, especially for trauma-related issues. • Help participants understand health as an interconnected system - aligning individual well-being with collective and environmental systems through Gestalt theory and biosynthetic practices. This MIND+ directly responds to Denmark’s Erasmus+ national priority on youth mental health and well-being. Danish youth workers report rising stress, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms post-COVID, and this project equips them, alongside peers from 9 other countries, with evidence-based tools in line with both Danish and European policy frameworks Moreover, MIND+ is strategically aligned with the overall goals of the Erasmus+ Programme (2021-2027) and the Youth Workers Mobility action (KA153-YOU), addressing key priorities such as inclusion, diversity, and mental well-being among youth. The project also directly contributes to the implementation of international frameworks such as the WHO European Framework for Action on Mental Health (EFAMH) 2021-2025 and the Erasmus+ Framework of Inclusion Measures. The training will use an experiential, non-formal education approach, combining self-reflection, group work, and participatory learning. The following methodologies and theoretical foundations will guide the learning process: • Understanding how deep cognitive-emotional patterns (schemas) shape behavior and emotional responses, and how youth workers can recognize and address these patterns in a supportive, non-clinical way. • Working with somatic memory and the body’s wisdom to support emotional release, grounding, and reconnection. • Exploring hidden dynamics in family and social systems, helping participants understand how transgenerational trauma and group dynamics influence mental health. • Embracing the concept that human lives and collective systems are interconnected. Youth mental health is not only individual, but deeply tied to relational, environmental, and systemic contexts. • Understanding mental health as the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors - not as an isolated issue. • Creating a safe, inclusive space where diverse participants can explore vulnerable topics without pathologizing themselves or others. The consortium reflects a truly European and neighboring-regions dimension: partners come from the EU (Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland), the Caucasus (Georgia), the Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and the Mediterranean (Jordan, Lebanon). This diverse composition creates a unique cross-border model, bringing together youth workers with different realities of migration, post-conflict recovery, and mental health needs. By learning together across these regions, the project fosters solidarity, intercultural dialogue, and transfer of practices that are applicable well beyond national contexts.
