Studies show that in Latvia, 35–40% of young people aged 15–24 regularly experience stress or anxiety (SPKC, 2022). More than 40% of schoolchildren aged 11–15 report that school workload causes significant tension, and 25–30% suffer from nervousness or sleep disorders (HBSC). During the pandemic, about half of young people admitted that their psychological well-being had significantly deteriorated (OECD, 2021). These data highlight the lack of knowledge and skills among young people on how to manage emotions in a healthy way and demonstrate how relevant this topic is. By implementing the project, we aim to strengthen young people’s emotional well-being, self-confidence, and ability to take care of themselves, as well as to promote mutual support. We consider it very important to talk about healthy solutions and to acquire knowledge that helps better understand intense emotions and how to support others in such situations. However, this knowledge must come from verified or at least reliable and trustworthy sources. Mutual support also plays a major role in this process – sometimes a simple conversation or the awareness that someone else is going through similar difficulties can make a big difference. Throughout the project, young people will learn not only how to take care of themselves, but also how to support a friend or group member. This will strengthen empathy, solidarity, and the ability to create a safer and more understanding environment both for themselves and for others. The main goal of the project is to strengthen young people’s emotional well-being, self-confidence, and ability to take care of themselves, promoting the overcoming of emotional difficulties and mutual support. In pursuing this goal, we will provide young people with practical tools and experiences that foster a sense of security, confidence, and the ability to successfully cope with strong emotions, panic, stress and anxiety . From the perspective of youth work practice, the project aims to: - develop young people’s understanding of emotions and how to recognize them; - provide practical tools for coping with strong emotions and conditions such as stress, anxiety, and panic attacks, etc.; - introduce healthy and safe self-help solutions based on reliable sources; - strengthen young people’s ability to critically evaluate mental health information available online; - acquire basic first aid skills to reduce insecurity and stress in crisis situations.
