After COVID-19 there has been a noticeable increase with
mental health difficulties that people working with the youth encounter daily. Often the stress for youth workers rises from wanting to help the struggling youngsters but not having the knowledge or toolset to manage the situations. This is why the main goal for this training course is to provide youth workers and educators with specific tools and know-hows for managing and supporting youngsters in difficult situations. In addition, it aims to create a safe space for sharing experience between youth workers and share good practices already being used.
This training was focused on youth workers and educators from Estonia, Croatia, Spain, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, Italy and Greece.
