Youth Work Can Promote Mental Health
The Mental Health in Youth Work training explores the role and competencies of the youth workers in supporting the mental health needs of young people by strengthening their emotional and mental health skills.
Objectives
The training course objectives are:
- Clarifying the understanding of what mental health means for ourselves
- Raising awareness of the importance of mental health in youth work
- Understanding the role of youth workers in promoting mental health in their work with young people
- Developing youth workers’ practical skills in supporting people’s mental health in their work
- Exploring approaches, tools, and resources that can be adapted in the organisation’s work
- Encouraging participants to reflect on their everyday practices with young people
- Enhancing the capacity to create a supportive, inclusive, and stigma-free environment
Mental Health from a preventive perspective
This training highlights mental health from a promotion and prevention perspective.
In this training, we do not approach mental health from the point of view of diagnosis, therapy, or healing – these approaches belong to the professional work outside youth work practices.
Time and venue
The training will be hosted in Belgium; the exact location will be announced later.
