Context
The project highlights the urgency of addressing the issue of mental health among young people, considered one of the most significant challenges of the contemporary world. It is clear how phenomena such as economic changes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other crises have increased the mental difficulties of young people, leading to an increase in anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts.
The Stronger Youth project addresses the issues of youth mental health and resilience on a global scale. It enables partner institutions to enhance their activities in areas such as youth resilience, prevention of social exclusion, and communication with young people. Each partner country benefits uniquely, with potential outcomes including improved social inclusion efforts in Italy, increased engagement with at-risk youth in Romania, and strengthened preventive mental health activities in Portugal, the Czech Republic, and Spain.
Objectives
Promoting socioemotional skills in adolescents at risk of depression or social exclusion, through mentoring relationships with peers.
To build a peer mentoring program as a preventive intervention of mental health and inclusion problems for adolescents.
