EmpowerED: Resilience in Youth Work

Training Course

6-12 May 2024 | Quinta das Relvas, Portugal

The aim of the project is to give the youth workers the tools to support their own positive mental health as well as their colleagues and young people, and thereby prevent burnout.

The project primarily focuses on the youth worker as a person. However, the activities are smoothly connected as training course, where different methods are introduced that can also be applied with colleagues and young people. In this way, we also support the positive mental health of young people both by example and through learned methods.

The purpose of the project is to take a moment of calm and a break from supporting others and learn about yourself and be kind to yourself. The topics we deal with are rest, environmental friendliness and nutrition. It is possible to take all knowledge with you to your organisation to share with colleagues and young people, but during this project the focus will be ✨YOU✨

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the mental health of young people has significantly deteriorated, the percentage of young people experiencing depression has increased, and the number of both young people and youth workers experiencing symptoms of anxiety has also increased significantly. It is therefore important to give youth workers the skills and tools to support themselves as well as young people.

The main objective are:
Empowering Youth Workers: Equip youth workers with the necessary tools and skills to support their own positive mental health and well-being.

Preventing Burnout: Provide youth workers with techniques and resources to prevent burnout in themselves and their colleagues.
Promoting Mental Health in Young People: Equip youth workers with the knowledge and skills to support the positive mental health of young people.

It is the time for self analysis, recognising your needs and limits, how to balance your private and working life, connecting with yourself as well as other people. During the project we are working outside to appreciate nature, having vegetarian meals and enjoying lack of Wi-fi and bad mobile service.
