Objectives

Today, many of us face significant challenges related to mental health. This is no longer a topic that can be ignored, as anxiety, stress, depression, and feelings of loneliness have become part of everyday life for an increasing number of young people. Many of us feel lost because, although there is an abundance of information around us, practical tools for coping are often lacking. We often do not know where to seek help, or we feel ashamed to talk about our struggles, as mental health is still stigmatized. The support system for young adults is frequently insufficient—accessing help can be difficult, and the costs of therapy are often beyond our reach. Many of us feel that “adulthood” is not what we imagined; it often feels like a struggle to survive in a world full of pressure, uncertainty, and information overload. We need this project to gain real skills that will allow us to care for ourselves and our loved ones, to break the silence surrounding mental health, and to create a space where we can support one another without judgment. We also want to show that mental health challenges have no nationality and that by joining forces with peers from other countries, we can act together and grow collectively. The main goal of the project is to equip young people aged 18–30 from three European countries with practical tools to build psychological resilience and to create an international peer-support network. The project focuses on several key areas: first, destigmatization and mental health education (mental literacy), helping participants distinguish between natural stress responses and situations that require professional support, while normalizing conversations about mental well-being. It also promotes digital hygiene, addressing issues of information overload and the potentially harmful effects of algorithms, by teaching conscious management of time spent online. The project supports the development of practical self-regulation tools through mindfulness workshops, art therapy, and body-based practices, enabling participants to create a personal “toolkit” of techniques for managing anxiety and stress in daily life. Finally, the project fosters the building of social capital through work in international groups, reducing feelings of isolation and demonstrating that the challenges and difficulties faced by young adults are transnational. Overall, the activities aim to strengthen participants’ psychological competencies, build a sense of safety, and promote intercultural cooperation and the exchange of experiences.
