ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΟΣ
Lend a hand is a 7 day youth exchange that will focus on enhancing participants skills and competencies in personal and peer to peer emotional
support. It is expected that these new experiences, exchange of realities with other European partners, will promote active citizenship,
entrepreneurship values and a louder voice from Youth itself in formation of youth policies concerning mental health.The need to include mental health
among the first priorities of the European union public health agenda has been increasingly recognized in Europe over the past decades. Mental
disorders are highly prevalent in Europe and are a major burden on society. According to estimations of WHO they affect every fourth citizen at
least once during their life and can be found in more than 10% of the European Union (EU) population during any given year. During past ten
years mental health of students and her other clients have declined, stress levels gone up and there is a noticeable increase in number of students
who deal mental health disorders. Many countries have limited community-based mental health services and little specialist help for young
people. Much is now known about what works in mental health promotion, prevention, care and treatment of mental disorders. The challenge is now
to start from the bottom and start climbing up so people can meet in the middle.
Main issues that we want to address are:
1. Declining mental health and increasing number of people who are in need of emotional support and psychological help;
2. Increased everyday stress situations, related to studies, work, family and social media;
Main objective of the project - to share experiences from different countries about main everyday and mental health issues, and stigma that surrounds
it. Improve participants soft skills (communication, negotiation, capacity to motivate, creativity) to be able to approach a person in need of emotional
help and having a basic toolbox for possible actions.
Participating countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Greece, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Poland
Venue: Aukštaitijos national park
