Young people in Europe are facing an alarming rise in mental health disorders and profound psychological distress, exacerbated by social uncertainty, global crises, and a growing sense of isolation. These factors undermine their well-being, engagement, and confidence in the future. The stigma surrounding these disorders further exacerbates the difficulty for young people to seek and access appropriate support, often leaving these vulnerabilities invisible and unaddressed. Embodying Health: Recovery responds to this urgency by placing recovery at the heart of youth work. The project aims to train youth workers to become essential links between young people and healthcare professionals, capable of identifying needs, supporting access to care, and facilitating a preventative and inclusive approach to mental health. The workers learn to create safe listening spaces where vulnerable young people can express their experiences without judgment, while receiving appropriate guidance to specialized services. The project's methodology combines theoretical input with experiential learning, integrating somatic and psychomotor practices that have a dual value: they offer a tool for personal and emotional regulation for the participants themselves, while also constituting a transferable capacity for action, allowing facilitators to impart these skills to support a wider audience, including those not directly affected by psychological disorders. These practices promote autonomy, body awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, while strengthening confidence in the ability to care for oneself and others. Inclusion and awareness-raising are not limited to participants: the project pays particular attention to the entourage of vulnerable young people. Families, peers, and communities are involved in the reflection and practice, in order to deconstruct prejudices, foster empathy, and broaden the project's impact beyond the participants' immediate circle. This holistic approach helps reduce stigma and establish a climate of lasting inclusion. By consolidating knowledge, practical skills, and immersive experiences, Embodying Health: Recovery creates a transformative journey: it enables youth workers to become active and informed intermediaries, capable of supporting young people in their recovery, accompanying those around them, and embedding inclusive and compassionate practices in their communities. This approach also provides a framework for co-constructing local projects and sharing innovative methods that can be transferred to other European contexts, thus maximizing collective impact. In conclusion, Embodying Health: Recovery is not just a training program: it is a vocational and pragmatic commitment, a concrete response to the urgent need for youth mental health, a lever for reducing stigma, and a driving force for sustainably transforming youth work practices. It combines seriousness and commitment, sensitivity and method, to offer youth workers and young people a space where recovery, inclusion, and autonomy become tangible realities.
