Description

Young people go through a lot of changes, like physical, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. Youth workers, school psychologists, counselors, and teachers are all essential for helping young people during this time. By learning about adolescent development and mental health, educators and youth workers can understand young people better, know what to expect during different stages, and come up with good ways to support them.

The aim of this training course is to empower youth workers with the expertise and abilities essential for nurturing the emotional and mental well-being of young individuals in their communities.

This can be achieved by fostering environments that prioritize safety and support by enhancing the mental health and well-being of youth workers, recognizing that they must first understand how to maintain their own mental health and balance before effectively supporting others.

Participant profile

This activity is designed for youth workers, trainers, ESC mentors and educators (high school teachers, youth trainers, camp leaders) interested in finding practical strategies for addressing and supporting the mental and emotional health of young people.

The event is most beneficial for practitioners who have a group of young people with whom they work on a regular basis and who can share examples of dificult situations and good practices with others.
