Mental Health Literacy and Diversity. Enhancing Mental Health and Resilience through Digital Resources for Youth.
Project description: The aim of the three-year Erasmus+ project is to promote the mental health literacy of students aged 12-15, regardless of their social and cultural background, socio-economic status, support needs, gender identity or sexual orientation. To this end, an innovative, adaptive, accessible programme is being developed together with the partner countries Bulgaria, Slovenia and Poland. This online tool will contain modules to promote mental health literacy, resilience, mindfulness and help-seeking behaviour as well as modules to prevent anxiety and depression. It will be developed together with the participants, implemented in three countries with students from different backgrounds, evaluated in terms of its impact on the mental health of students and finally made freely available in four languages (English, German, Polish, Slovenian).
