Main topics: Cultural stigma against seeking help impedes emotional well-being and societal inclusivity.
About the project
There is still a stigma prevailing in our culture that asking for help is a sign of weakness. We are scared to be vulnerable, and we are too preoccupied with our busy schedules to actually care about our well-being, let alone listen to the struggles of a friend or another person. In often cases we do not even fully understand our own needs and the reasons for our pain. Our mentality and perceptions are in the way of making society more inclusive and supportive. During this TC we want to talk about emotions, traumas and our inner selves and grow the empathy for ourselves and others.
Aims and Objectives
The goals of this project are: 1) To provide participants with non-formal and informal tools and techniques for mental well-being to improve their daily work with youth; 2) to enhance participants’ competencies in active listening, stress management, and psychological First Aid; 3) to strengthen participants’ knowledge of the Erasmus+ and provide the opportunity to work on future projects; 4) to raise awareness and shift people’s mindset about mental well-being; and 6) to share good practices among participating countries.
