Today, 14th December 2023, our representative Gabriela Petrova participated in a webinar on the YIminds project by ERYICA – European Youth Information and Counselling Agency, focusing on mental health. This initiative is supported by Eurodesk.
During the webinar were discussed and learned many interesting things and encountered good examples that will assist us in our future work with young people. Understanding mental health is crucial for youth workers as it equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to support the well-being of young people.
Mental health challenges are prevalent among today’s youth, and being able to recognize, address, and provide resources for such issues is essential. It not only fosters a safe and supportive environment but also empowers youth workers to contribute to the overall development of the individuals they work with. By promoting mental health awareness, youth workers play a pivotal role in breaking down stigmas, encouraging open conversations, and ensuring that young people have the resources they need for positive mental well-being.
